ANTING 
Although we always advocate fall planting for fruit trees that are hardy (and we 
list nothing but NORTHERN-GROWN hardy fruit in the Planting Magazine) some

spring. This has some advantages, because the-trees are then available to plant on the 
very day that is best for them. They also make a certain amount of growth treated
