A SHORT STORY ABOUT OUR FRUIT TREES 
First: 
than any other fruit trees money can buy. 
Second: 
They will grow, bear and live longer, stand severe cold and dry climatic conditions better 
It is made possible to grow trees of such hardiness and stupendous size only by our propa- 
gation system. Our one and two year old trees are larger and better proportioned than any fruit trees 
produced in the Northwest. 
We have never found a sign of root knot or Crown Gall in our fruit trees. 
We 
have a typical system of our own in producing these hardier high bearing and high Vitality Fruit Trees.
