FRUIT TREES 
In the purchase of fruit stocks great care should be given 
to the selection of varieties that will meet your conditions 
and requirements, as many that thrive and bear abundantly 
in one section often prove disappointing under variable 
conditions. Also many splendid sorts for home use are 
totally unsuited for profitable marketing. For this reason 
we offer a large assortment of improved varieties carefully 
tested and selected for their special merits and their 
adaptability to varying conditions, and if you will state 
whether you intend growing for distant or local market 
or for home use, giving location and general conditions, we 
can recommend or assist in the selection of those varieties 
that will give you the best results. If trees are frozen in 
transit, do not unpack, but set away in a cool cellar and 
allow them to thaw gradually. Trees or roses that are 
dried out and shriveled should be buried, tops and all, in 
moist earth for a few days. This will restore them.
