old-age collection and to test out for the benefit of the public. I CAN SPARE 
A TREE OR TWO OR THREE OF SOME THIRTY OR FORTY VARIETIES. 
See below. 
This is an opportunity for experimenters that is not likely to happen 
again soon. 
I strongly recommend that you let us ship them, and other large sized 
trees, by railway freight with ball of earth (balled and burlapped). You 
W]ill be surprised to see how reasonable the freight rates are. Your local 
railway can give you exact freight rate to your station. Present rates, 
per 100 pounds, from Round Hill, Va., to: 
Philadelphia, Pa., 55^; Boston, Mass., 83^; Buffalo, N. Y., 81^; Pitts¬ 
burgh, Pa., 69^; Chicago, Ill., $1.02. 
Planting with ball of earth is the quick way to get a nut tree started. 
It can start to growing the first year and you save tw|o years’ time. I’m 
doing it with my 5 0 acres of Pecans—trucking the trees fifteen miles. Last 
spring I put 40 balled and burlapped hickories out in a bluegrass sheep 
pasture. They all lived. Let us send yours that way.
