CARE OF FRUIT TREES 
Newly planted trees should be well cultivated or mulched the first season, 
to conserve moisture and to keep down weeds and grass. It is not always good 
economy to intercrop with grass, small fruits, or grain, unless the young trees 
are making extraordinary strong growth. When the trees are well established, 
the spaces between the rows may be used for other crops for a few years, until 
the trees need the space; but while making their initial growth the trees should 
not have to compete with other crops for the plant-food in the ground. 
One of the most important items in the care of fruit trees is to see that they 
are trained right from the start. Our two-year-old sizes have the heads already 
formed, with three to five scaffold limbs well arranged along the trunk to 
support the head. 
One-year trees, or whips, should be trimmed to smooth, straight stems, 
cutting them squarely off at the distance from the ground at which it is desired 
to have them branch. Peaches should be encouraged to branch as low as 
possible. The after-pruning is a matter which requires some knowledge of 
tree growth and habit, as well as the purpose for which the trees are grown. 
Contact your County Agent for spraying instructions. 
OUR GUARANTEE 
We guarantee every tree to be as represented in grade and quality and if on 
arrival you do not find them as we say they are, return them to us securely 
packed and in good condition within five days and your money will be refunded 
in full. The greatest of care is taken to have all trees, etc., true to label. Any 
proving not so will be replaced or purchase price refunded, upon proper proof. 
In no case shall our maximum responsibility exceed the original amount paid. 
Since the growth of fruit trees is determined by the care they receive by 
the planter, we give no guarantee as to growth.
