One of the great essentials to success
full tree growing in this section. either
fruit or ornamental, is hardy and Wig
orous stock. Trees that have been
grown strongly and successfully, well
to the north. possess these traits. In
addition, northern growth stock starts
earlier in the spring, aldens up for
the winter earlier in the fall and
less loss and disturbance than if the
stock is carried in the opposite direc-
ton. The FairmOnt nursery, in south
ern Minnesota, has successful record
in this direction. and being within easy
reach from this section, is convenient
in that respect. 1t is we'll worth the
while Of our readers to consider the
claims and the advantages of this first
class nursery.
A visit to the grounds of the Fair
mont nursery is revelation. From a
very small beginning the industry has
grown in few years into one of the
leading and solid business institutions
OF this section OF the Northwest. Still
the present success does not satisfy the
ambitious proprietOrs and it is more
than likely that the passing of a few
years will see the Fairmont Nursery a
rival Of the greatest horticultural en-
terprises of the country. 1t amazes
one that such great prOfusiOn and nu-
merous varities of fruit, forest and Or
namental trees, shrubbery, etc. could
have sprung up out Of the earth in the
short time that this nursery has been
established. The nursery grounds are
a solid and compact growth of scientific
cally propagated vegetation, every
twig and bush of which is adapted to
the rigors of the northwestern climate
because it was developed and grown
in Minnesota.
Apples are naturally the leading
stock in trade. They are grown, in al
most endless abundance and range in
size from mature trees in full bearing
to the tiny seedlings Of the single sea-
sons growth. Only the standard north
western varieties are grown such as

over with growl. In a minute, with
another low growl, he rolled over
