CATALOGUE AND FRUIT GROWERS' GUIDE. n — , «... i. SOIL TILLAGE A SCIENCE, YES! Good soil tillage at the proper time, sufficient fertilizer of the right sort, proper preparation of the soil before planting, are essentials to the best re- sults in growing trees. This properly applies to both nursery or orchard. AVe have a peculiar way of preparing soil before planting it to trees. Some- thing original, and a little expensive, perhaps. We begin with turning under three or four good, heavy crops of clover or peas, then we proceed to apply a good dressing of rich stable manure, and finally subsoil the ground eighteen or more inches deep. RESULTS: Strong, thrifty, smooth and straight bodies, large bunches of fibrous roots of strong growing and fruit- ing power. The picture shows our men in the act of subsoiling a field con- taining over 100 acres, for nursery stock, to be planted in the spring. The soil, a rich, heavy, black loam, is eminently adapted for growing trees. jSotice to Correspondents. 1. —All orders entrusted to us by letter or otherwise will receive our prompt and most careful attention, and be filled exactly according to order. 2. —Patrons ordering by letter should write out their order plainly on a separate sheet, » and not in the body of the letter.
