small fnaits and ornamentals, except shade trees, will be

SIZE OF FRUIT TREES: We grade or sort our fruit 
trees by caliper or diameter about two inches above the 
point where the grafted or budded top puts forth. The 
heights given are from actual measurement of all va- 
rieties dug last season. These heights vary from year to 
year according to the gi-owing season. Moreover, varieties 
of the same class or kind differ in growing habit, some 
naturally grow taller, some insist on branching, some 
grow more shapely tops. A short, stocky tree is much 
better than a tall, spindly specimen. You must cut off 
part of the top anyway when you plant your trees except 
with sour cherries. 
REPLACEMENTS. We do not promise to replace stock 
that fails to grow because the life of trees and plants 
depends upon conditions over which we have no control. 
The chief causes of failure after nursery stock is received 
are: drying out in the sun or wind or freezing in the cold; 
failure to properly prane the roots and tops; crowding the 
roots into small holes cut out of the sod; failure to tramp 
the soil firmly about the roots; lack of proper care and 
attention.
