Tills surplus slock consists chiefly
of fruit trees, shade trees, £l'apc vines

not more than 'J to 3 cents per tree.

and carrier companies might evtend

responsible authorities, and trees

nurserymen can send printed lists giv-
ing needed Instructions.
This surplus stock consists mainly
of peach, apple, plum, and shade
trees, and MTape vines, also fig and
citrous trees The number of trees
ordered should be limited to the num-
ber of students in each school that
will agree to plant and cultivate it
tree or vine. Not the variety name,
but I lie gcnrrul name may be spccl-
lled In the order. The safest way
would be to leave the variety names
to the selection of the nurseryman,
who can label the trees so thai each
student can know what he has re-
ceived If tills work is accomplished
