Soon after he was encountered again in the paIace. He would uot tell how he obtained access.

Where possible a first hand inspec

Where possible first hand inspec- ton of the nursery stock which one buys is advisable. for in such case one not only has opportunity to size up the general appearance of the stock, but to examine the type of roots which the stuff has. which is of more importance than any other factor. And this holds whether the order be of small fruit. bushes. vines. fruit trees or ever greens. The root of a plant or tree is the capital with which it starts in the business of growing. and if this capi- tai be lacking it's operations are bound to be limited and unsatisfactory.

While conditions vary greatly in diff ferent sections of the country affect ing the care which ought to be given to newly set fruit trees, it Is the yer diet of the best experience that they should be given most thorough culti- vation. with no crop grown close enough 10 appropriate the moisture which the trees need for their best growth. Too often mistakes are made along both these lines. with the result that the young trees, instead of making a healthy growth. become sfunted and never develop as they might have done That cultivation should be given which will insure loose and mellow soil about the trees. and under no circumstances should it be allowed to become hard and baked.
