ance," said returned soldier in
Atlanta the other day. "Two rea,
sons-I can't get any other for as
little money, and, as matter OF
fact, l can't get any other at all
Can't stand the physical examination
now."
The soldier, now discharged and
back at his old work in civil life,

QUOTATIONS ON FRUIT TREES

Fruit trees are some higher than
they were last year. Below am
giving a price list of fruit trees fol-
your benefit. I saw an agent in the
county selling fruit trees very high
He was offering peach, pear and ap'
pie trees for 5000 per dozen or 75c'
each. The trees this agent was sell
ing could not be any better than the
ones quote you below. What is the
use to pay such a high price for fruit
trees when they can be bought direct
for one-third the price that this
agent was selling them for. Be sure
and see your county agent before
placing your order for fruit trees,
unless you want to give more for
them.
Apple trees, 3 to 5 feet high, 20
to 25 cents each.
Peach trees, 2 to 5 fee t high, 15
to rs cents each. .
Pear trees, 8 to 5 feet high, 25e.
each.
Cherry trees, 3 to feet high. 25
to 80 cents each.
Plum trees, 8 to 5 feet high, 80
to 35 cents each.
Pecan trees, 2 to 8 feet buds, 55
