Fruit Trees and Small Fruits 
We are specialists in Fruit Trees for the pi-ivate individual and 
•uir stock is grown more especially for this class of trade. Our 
list is somewhat limited, because we offer only what we have 
proven to be adapted to the Montana climate. Montana is a cold 
state and is useless as we have proved from experience — to ex- 
pect varieties that do well in milder locations to stand our 
winters. If. however, you are desirous of getting something we 
do not list, let us know, and we will supply you, at the same 
time giving you our candid advice. All the trees listed here 
we can recommend for hardiness and good value, in the best of 
the standard varieties. Our experience of twenty-eight years is 
offered to you in this catalog in its entirety, free of all charge, 
an invaluable aid to purchasers of Fruit and other trees.
