The planting of a I tree reperents an investment for y hence the necessity for a little cai thought. A very perplexing ques to decide is where to secure the nursery stock for planting. There several methods, but as a rule farmer has not the inclination to termine which have the greatest i its. He may grow the trees at h< but whether it is economy to do a question. The propagation of fruit trees business in itself. In order to se, vigorous healthy trees, true to n, many prospective orchardists 1 felt justified in venturing into business. This state of affairs been brought about largely by the that countless niumbers of fari have been swindled by tree ago Many a farmer in this State worked and cared for trees till reached bearing age and has sec as his greatest fruit bitter disappi ment. Experiences of this kind ] led farmers to believe that it is possible to secure, from nursery varieties true to name. Ev'en a increased cost of production, the g er should make an effort to se trees rightly named. I believe t are enough honest nurserymen in State to satisfy this requirement. in the business are able to grow I cheaper than inexperienced per possibly can 'do. The thing of importance to the prospective gr is the selection of the right nur men. In most eases it is advisab patronize home nurserymen. There are several reasons wh3 should favior home grown trees. 1. They are grown under the E climatic conditions and possibl: the same kind of soil as you ha; your own orchard. 2. The trees have become acclim and will suffer no violent cha who transplanted to your own] 3. It is possible to visit the] nursery in person and select fron entire stock instead of having order filled from the first that c< to hand. 4. One of the chief advantage buying at home is the avoidanc the long haul.
