Fruit Trees. 
Special Notice. We call your especial attention to our line of nursery stock. Many of you, no doubt, 
know how often the people are robbed and humbugged by agents, who call upon you, saying they represent a 
certain firm, when they do not; they buy their stock wherever they can buy the lowest, and charge you double 
rates tor stock which is nothing but culls and common varieties. We have placed our rates as low as any firm 
which has a reputation at stake, and we will protect the grower and give him just what he buys. 
Planting* — Plow and subsoil repeatedly, so as to pulverize thoroughly to a 
depth or 1<2 to 18 inches. \\ hen planting on the lawn or grass plots, remove the sod for a diameter of four to five 
feet, and keep tins space well worked and free from weeds. Dig the hole deeper and larger than is necessary to 
admit all the roots in their natural position, keeping the surface and subsoil separate. Cut off broken and bruised 
roots, and shorten the tops to half a dozen good buds, except for fall planting, when it is better to defer top- 
pruning until the following spring. If not prepared to plant when your stock arrives, "heel-in,” by digging a 
trench deep enough to admit all the roots, and setting the trees therein as close as they can stand, carefully packing 
the earth about the roots, taking up when required. Never leave the roots exposed, and "puddle ” before planting. 
FiH hp the hole with surface soil, so that the tree will stand about as it didin the nursery 
after the earth is settled, except for Dwarf Pears, which should be planted deep enough to cover two or three 
inches the quince stock upon which they are budded. Work the soil thoroughly among the roots, and when 
well covered tramp firmly. Set the tree firm as a post, but leave the surface filling (of poorer soil) light and 
oose. No staking will be required except for very tall trees. Never let manure come in contact with the roots.
