- FRUIT TREES AND SMALL FRUITS. 
We recommend Northern-grown fruit trees to New England planters, as they will be found to give better satisfaction than Southern or 
Western-grown trees. 
We furnish excellent, clean trees which if planted carefully, are almost sure to succeed. 
should be planted at once in rich, prepared soil, the roots being carefully separated and spread. 
Trees, when received, 
If dry weather follows planting, the trees 
must be watered and mulched. Branches of last season’s growth should be well cut back, thus encouraging the vigorous growth of new 
gr ? sing g
