Fruit Trees 



The Fruit Trees we offer are excellent young stock. When received the trees should be planted at once in rich, prepared soil, the 

 roots being carefully separated and spread. 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 shoots. Standard apple trees will need plenty 

 of room when they grow up, so they should be planted 30 to 40 feet apart. For the first few years, peaches or plums may be grown 

 between them, but these "fillers" must be removed when the apples need the space. 



Strong, two-year-old stock; prices much lower — quality better than ever
