consult an authority in your neighbor-

the College of Agriculture or to the
secretary of the State Horticultural
Society. Do not buy new varieties
without knowledge of their suitability
for your climate and of their desira-
bility. Not infrequently nurseries are
overstocked with certain inferior va.

recommended to prospective custom
ers. principally through agents
4. Do not pay a high price for any
"new and wonderful fruits just Inn
ported" nor for any new creations
which are OF great promise" The
