PLANT YOUNQ TREES 
We strongly recommend our customers to buy 
young trees, especially for orchard planting. They 
cost less, can be taken up with more perfect roots, 
are much more likely to live, will become established 
soonen and can also be more easily trained to any 
desired shape. The most successful planters invaria- 
bly select young, thrifty trees.
