CAREFUL PACKERS." 



Our men have had years of experience, and we try to have each man to pride himself to see vi^ho can do 

 up the best package in the best manner that will reach the customer satisfactorily, so much so we offer 

 premiums to the one that is most successful in this direction. Our packing- house is well equipped with 

 water suppl5^ trees are dipped in mud or grout, roots are carefully packed, bales are securely wrapped, 

 boxes carefully nailed and strapped and are pushed directly on rollers from the packing house to the car; 

 no hauling is required, and hence no exposure to the stock.

 sert or cooking. Tree hardy and free from blight;
