P ICK FRUIT the third year after planting from Buntings 1 High Quality 
Peach Trees. Buntings' trees speak a language of productiveness and 
profit every orchardist knows. 
Almost every summer 
we are visited by growers, 
and men from the State 
Departments of Agricul- 
ture. Every one of them 
comments on how care' 
fully kept our nursery ap' 
pears and how well our 
stock is growing. Of 
course, we have a good 
soil for growing trees, but 
even the best of soil will 
not grow good trees unless it is 
properly tilled. Our nurseries are ah 
ways kept free from weeds, giving our trees 
a good start, and when you receive them they are 
’‘chuck full” of energy, all ready to start growing for you.
