season of delivery, stating year, and ascertain

A Tree is No Hardier Than Its 
Root System 
A fruit tree may be a perfectly hardy variety, 
but unless it is grafted and grown on a hardy 
‘root stock it will not prove satisfactory. SHER- 
MAN TREES are grown on hardy Northern 
roots. Such roots are much hardier than Southern- 
grown seedlings. Insist on a tree thaf has a 
hardy, Northern Grown root system.
