Norton, Kan., March 25, 1905. 
I received the trees on the 23d in fine condition. I think, however, that you 
made a mistake. Yon sent me larger trees than I was expecting. I don't say this 
in the sense of a kick. Oh. no: they are fine. I shall take great pride In calling 
my neighbors’ attention to those trees. Many thanks. W. C H M

t lie fall of the year. Prune according to the habit of growth, cutting back closely 
ail weak shoots and shortening the long canes to a convenient length.
