HOW TO PLANT TREES. 



Although there are numerous books and 

 papers published on arboriculture, giving 

 necessary information how to plant trees, 

 yet we are so often asked by some of our 

 customers how to plow and prepare the soil 

 for fruit trees, we therefore deem it neces- 

 sary to give here some short instructions. 



Our Stock of Palm, atii Ferris cannot be excelled anywhere.
