FRUIT TREES 
Our supply of apple trees 
is very limited and it 
seems to be the same every- 
where else. There has 
been a very heavy demand 
during the last few years 
which has drained nurseries 
of all surplusses. Adding 
to this, damage by snow, ice 
and rabbits and lack of 
grafting and budding ex- 
perts, fruit trees of all 
kinds, have never been so 
scarce and so much in 
demand. We hope that 
within two years we shall 
be able again to offer our 
customers a complete list 
of all varieties in all sizes 
and at a cheaper price.
