and now offer trees of our own growth. 30 to 50 cts.

Pewaukee. A fine, large, round, striped Apple from Wis- 
consin ; quite productive and well adapted to states north 
"'^Roxbury Russet. Medium size and good quality, thoiigli 
its chief value here is its remarkable long-keeping qualities.

ter Apple from Worcester county. It is esteemed by some to 
be better in quality than the Hubbardston. The tree is 
upright and productive. 50 cts. 
All of onr Apple trees are budrfed on thrifty stocks, using the whole 
root for each tree They should not be classed with trees grafted on 
pieces of roots, as is to a great extent the practice in the nurse, k-s ,11 
the west and south. Doinv; the work indoors m llie winlc. , such lices 
can be produced cheaply, an.l may he adapted to tlieir nch pi une 
soils; but here in New EnKland they soon become stunted shoi t-livtd 
and if little value. We have yei to see a first-class "^l^ard g.o«n 
from such stock. A trifle more in the first cost gives Ihe beg.nne. 
trees of the best quality. The expense of planting, cultuie and cost of 
the land is the same; but the proJluet of the best selected trees will be 
many fold greater.
