As a rule they have large vigorous roots and when well planted make a greater per- centage increase in trunk diameter dur- ing the first season's growth in the orchard than larger trees. One year old trees are preferred to older stock, not only because trees can be headed to better advantage but also because a two-year-old tree does not have a much greater root system after digging than does the one-year-old tree. Again, the medium sized tree is preferred to the abnormally large tree because the lower buds are stronger and more capable of develoiiing well spaced branches than those similarly located on the large tree. I do not know of a point in connec- tion with nursery stock that is more worthy of emphasis than "Order ; The planter who waits until next spring before looking after this matter is pretty likely to face an unprecedented .shortage and be forced to accept cull BETTER FRUIT stock for which he will undoubtedly be charged a fancy price or go without, which is by far the lesser of the two evils. Another point of importance: Don't go bargain hunting in nursery stock if price alone is the deciding factor unless you know your business pretty well and can judge nursery slock. Better pay the full price asked by the nurseryman of established repu- tation, even though it may seem exorbi- tant, than deal with the fly-by-night agen
