Photograph of parcel post 3-4 
ft. apple tree and Marshalls speci¬ 
men grade (5-6 feet). The small 
tree weighs 6 ounces and the Mar¬ 
shalls specimen tree 40 ounces. 
Notice that Marshalls specimen 
tree is six and tivo-thirds times 
the size of the small tree. The 
value is proportionate. It takes 
more than height to indicate the 
value. The home planter wants a 
strong tree with head formed. 
Japanese Barberry, both plants 2-3 feet 
high. The light one is a parcel post grade 
that was grown in a thick row and did not 
have room for side development. The heavy 
one was grown by Marshalls in a wide open 
row. The parcel post plant iveighs 4 ounces. 
Marshalls specimen 32 ounces. 
Every order is complete¬ 
ly wrapped to prevent in¬ 
fury in shipping. Heavy 
paper lines the burlap and 
prevents drying of the wet 
moss about the roots.
