Fruit Trees 
Select thrifty trees in preference to old or very large ones; 
the roots are more tender and fibrous and they bear transplant¬ 
ing better and are more apt to thrive; they can also be more 
easily trimmed and shaped to any desired form, and in the 
course of a few years will usually outstrip the older ones in 
growth. 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, carefully pack the earth about the 
roots, taking up when required. Never leave the roots exposed 
to the sun and air. We do not guarantee to replace plants or 
trees.
