E. W. REID'S CATALOGUE OF SMALL FRUITS, ETC. 
19 
Fruit ‘J'rees. 
PACKING FREE. We wish to call attention of the trade to this point: we do not 
charge for packing or boxing, as most nurseries do. Everything is delivered to depot free 
of charge. 
ON ARRIVAL, unpack and “ heel in,” in a standing position until ready to plant. 
PRUNING. Very few people understand pruning a tree before it is planted, and 
many are lost on this account. Cut all the side branches from stem and top it; we cannot 
do this before shipping as the stubs would rub body of tree. Tramp the soil well about 
the roots. 
CULTIVATION. This should not be neglected ; every young orchard should be 
planted in some crop so that it will receive thorough culture. 
SPECIAL NOTICE. We are sorry we cannot give a description of all the fruits, 
but as we are so crowded for room, we can only give names of varieties, but those want- 
ing discriptions can get the same by writing to us. We would be pleased to give them in 
our catalogue, but we have so many varieties it would take so much space, and those who 
wish to purchase trees know what they are from name. 
Note. Our trees are the finest wo have ever sent out, being well headed and perfectly 
straight, with strong stock, and whoever is lucky enough to get them will be well 
pleased. We do not expect to have enough to supply our trade this season, and we have 
put the price low in this line as well as in small fruits, We will also give ten per cent 
discount on all orders for trees at dozen or hundi'ed rates received before April 1st. It will 
pay you to be early and not get left.
