What You Should Know I 
Before You Buy 
NURSERY STOCK 
Common rooted fruit trees may look the same as 
Northern rooted trees—may even start all right. But 
when the first hard winter comes along, with little or 
no snow for protection, common rooted trees are quite 
sure to be injured or even killed, leaving a dead or 
crippled orchard, 
An apple tree is no hardier than the root it is grafted 
on, Hardy root stocks are as vital to your orchard as 
a@ good foundation is to your home, 
Actual tests show that common, ‘tender root stocks are 
the greatest cause of failure in the orchard. Commercial 
growers know how important root stocks are to the 
life of their trees, 
In tests, 50 common rooted, and 50 Northern rooted 
trees of same size were planted under identical condi- 
tions. Note the difference at 17 years, Many common 
rooted trees are gone entirely—those remaining are 
one-third the size of the Northern rooted trees, and pro- 
duced one-fifth as much fruit. So beware of common 
Tooted, Southern grown stocks. See the difference in 
the photo shown here,
