TOP-WORKING STOCK. 
‘Surprise. A blight resistant stock rec- 
ommended by the Oregon Agricultural Col- 
leye Experiment Station at Talent, Ore. 
It is an extremely vigorous grower with an 
upright slightly spreading habit, making a 
desirable tree for top working. We bud 
the Surprise on Japanese root which makes 
this stock as nearly blight proof as exper- 
ience makes possible. 
‘Orel No. 15. A blight resistant stock 
tested and recommended by the Oregon 
Agricultural College Experiment Station, 
Talent, Ore. Is of Russian origin. Like 
the Surprise we bud this variety on J ap- 
anese pear seedling roots, which will be 
top worked later by the.orchardist to the 
variety desired.
