Special Notice. 
Our prices are low considering the 
grade of trees we sell. On comparing our 
trees with those grown crowded together 
in seed bed, without transplanting, four 
or five feet high—mere switches—drawn 
up; because of this condition, a 
percentage of them die on being planted 
in the orchard. Our trees are all trans- 
| the shell 
to grow, making strong stocky trees, well 
rooted and in condition to bear trans- 
planting in orchard without injury to the 
trees. They should all grow if properly 
planted. Our customers who have planted 
both grades of trees will endorse this 
statement.
