IIOW TREES ARE GRADED—Our fruit trees are 
inches above the bud, or graft, which is a few inches above 
where the tree grew in the ground. The diameter is spoken 
of as the caliber. The grades given in this catalog are those 
accepted by the American Association of Nurserymen. As 
far as possible, we have given the height as well as the caliber 
of the different grades. For instance, the XXX grade apple 
tree will caliber 11/16 of an inch and up, and will average 5 
to 7 ft. The XX grade will caliber from A to 11/16 r' an 
inch, and average from 4p2 to 6 ft. The X grade - will caliber 
from A to H of an inch and will average from 4 to 5 ft. All 
varieties, however, do not grow to the same height. For 
instance, the XXX trees of Bismarck and Shiawasse Beauty, 
which are slower growing varieties, will average about 5A 
ft., while the same grade of.Wagener and Winter Banana, 
which are faster growing varieties, will average 6A to 7 It. 
Our small fruits such as grapes, currants, etc., are graded 
according to age and size, the usual grade we offer being 
strong two year bushes. Our ornamentals vary in age, 
depending upon the rapidity of growth, and are graded 
according to height only.

WRITE US FOR INFORMATION.—We have had 
nearly half a century’s experience in growing fruit and 
ornamentals of all kinds, and having orchards of our own are 
in a position to advise you on the different phases of fruit 
growing. We will be glad to answer to the best of our 
ability any questions or inquiries on this subject. 
A row of apple trees In our experimental orchard from v^hich our 
buds and scions are taken for budding and grafting. As these 
are bearing trees, there can be no uncertainty of our trees 
being true to name. Although these trees are twenty 
or more years old, they are dwarfed in appearance. 
This is due to the severe annual pruning to 
which they are subjected in taking off buds 
and scions for the propagation of 
new trees. 
TREES BUDDED FROM BEARING ORCHARDS.— 
It has been our aim and in almost every instance our trees 
are budded from bearing trees in our own orchards. This 
not only assures you of trees being true to name, but inas¬ 
much as the buds are always selected from the best, thriftiest 
and most productive trees only, it gives you the benefit of the 
superior qualities of the parent tree. 
DUTY ON TREES INTO CANADA.—The duty on trees 
into Canada is 3 cents per tree, and on bush fruits, such as 
currants, gooseberries, etc., and ornamental shrubs, 20 per 
cent, of their value. We accompany all shipments with an 
invoice, and our Canadian customers wall be notified by their 
customs officers on arrival of shipment the necessary duty to 
pay, which should be paid direct to the customs office.
