R. & J. FARQUHAR CO., BOSTON. FRUIT TREES 



Fruit Trees and Small Fruits 



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 diy 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 or 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. 



Not less than 5 plants of each variety sold at the 10 rate, 25 at the 100 rate
