PARCEL POST: Although we do not believe shipments 
by Parcel Post are as satisfactory as express or freight, 
we will, for the convenience of our customers living far 
from the railroad, ship any tree less than 4 feet in 
height, small fruits and ornamentals, except shade 
trees, by Prepaid Parcel Post if you will add twenty 
per cent to these prices. We will refund the difference 
if the postage is less.

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 growing season. Moreover, 
v'ip<ies-Af the same class or kind differ in growing 
•^urally grow taller, some insist on 
t year, some grow more shapely tops. 
. iiee is much better than a tall, spindly 
I'ou must cut off part of the top anyway 
you plant your trees except with sour cherries.
