Especially those kinds that have been tested and

order to prevent mistakes, We cut our scions for
grafting from old bearing trees, and we will guar
rantee the kinds to be what we sell them for.
= Our trees have been raised on Kansas soii and
are therefore much preferable to those from out ct
the Territory, being much more certain of living
and making rapid growth, as we have learned by
our own experience
Our trees are healthy, thrifty, and we'll grown,
and as such we offer them to Fruit Growers at
cheaper rates, we think, than any other nursery

of opening the eyes of conservative men in

is copied from the Fort Wayne Qnd) Times.
1t is a Republican paper, and its editor is a
member Of the Republican Central Commit
tee of that State. There are many men in
the Republican ranks who will indorse the
whole of it. The Times says:
The moral of the late disturbance at IIar

they have indorSed-the extreme of tauali-
