 Frank Jageman has an orchard of 150 apple trees bearing their first this season. They were bought for Jona- thans and Belleflowers, but to his sur prise and disap pointment he finds that they are of a summer variety and prac- tically worthless. This incident illus trates the importance of being sure of what you buy in trees. The nursery may replace the trees, but that won't help the matter much, for the loss of three or four years growth on 15C apple trees is a big loss in dollars and cents.
