Our Method of Packing Trees in Paper Lined Boxes 
Do you know that splendid trees are frequently ruined by careless handling, for many firms 
have no houses in which to pack, doing the work in the open where the roots are exposed to the 
sun and wind. This is very injurious, and undoubtedly will lower the vitality of the trees so the 
first year’s growth will be slight, if they don’t disappoint you entirely. 
We draw our trees from the field under canvas cover to our large and extensive packing house, 
where they are fully protected from sun and wind; here they are carefully graded, packed in 
paper fined boxes and loaded in cars right in our packing house for we have 
a switch which holds several cars. This is the reason why our trees succeed 
so much better than those sold by many of our competitors. 
Boxing and Packing Free 
We box and pack all shipments without charge. All orders are put up in 
boxes or bales, lined with heavy paper to guard against stock drying out; 
the trees and plants are packed in moist excelsior and straw.

Gentlemen : The trees came in good shape and a fine lot they are. You 
have the packing of nursery stock down to a science. I took the trees immed¬ 
iately to the field where they were to be planted and heeled them in by run¬ 
ning a shallow furrow with a shovel plow, laying the trees with their roots in 
the furrow and covering them well with soil. I feel that if the planting is as 
good as the stock, there will be no doubt about the quality of the orchard. 
Sincerely yours,

This is the way our 
trees are packed 
when shipped by 
express. 
Romance in an Apple Orchard 
BEN DAVIS was an awful flirt. He was a TALLMAN and handsome, a 
native of SPITZENBURG, HOLLAND. Tie became hopelessly smitten on 
BELLEFLOWER, who looked like a DUCHESS, dressed beautiully in a RUS¬ 
SET gown. His attentions to her were so SWEET that he made the MAIDEN 
BLUSH. 
Now she was engaged to another MANN. Although he was a BALDWIN, he 
was WEALTHY as a KING and when he was advised of this he SWAAR, and 
with rage turned white as SNOW and nearly took an APPLE-eptic fit. 
He at once engaged a SPY who soon informed him that he need SEEK NO 
FURTHER for her affections. He immediately left ONTARIO for a NEWTOWN 
down on the ST. LAWRENCE, where he met a ROME BEAUTY and now he 
declares there are NONSUCH as she.— Lome Carey, in Northumberland and
