ADVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.

Please read before making out your order.

Correspondents will greatly cblige by observing, as far as pos- sible, the following regulations:

1. All orders should be sent in as early as possible, as it will be our rule to execute them in the order in which they are received.

2. The names of everything ordered should be plainly written out. This will save much trouble, and at the same time prevent mistakes.

3. If we should be out of any kinds of trees, others equally as good will be sent in their place, unless otherwise notified.

4. Persons not acquainted with the different varieties of fruits will do well to leave the selection to ourselves, as we shall send cnly such as give general satisfaction.

5. All communications respecting nursery articles and prices will be attended to promptly, and any information or advice that we are able to impart, when desired, will be given freely.

6. It is requested that explicit directions for marking and ship- ping packages accompany each order. When it is left to us to choose the mode of conveyance, we will exercise our best judgment, but in all cases the articles are at the risk of the purchasers after being shipped, and if delay or loss occurs the forwarder alone must be held responsible.

7. Where contracts are made to deliver trees at any particular place, our responsibility ceases the day on which the purchasers are notified to receive their crders.

8. All trees and plants are carefully labeled and securely packed in the best manner.

9. All orders from unknown correspondents must be accom- panied by remittance or satisfactory reference. Remittance may be made by draft, postoffice money order, or Wells-Fargo & Co. money order.

10. Our customers are reauested to notify us immediately of any errors that may be committed in filling their orders, so we may at once make ample amends, as we desire to conduct our business in all respects satisfactorily to those who favor us with their confi- dence.

When trees are ordered, preparations should be made to receive them by having trenches dug about a foot deep and two feet wide, and of sufficient length to hold all the roots of the trees, spread out so they can be covered with earth. If the weather is dry, water should be poured over the roots.

The situation of the orchard having been decided on, the ground should be deeply plowed, subsoiled, and thoroughly pulverized. The holes should be dug at least a foot larger in every direction than actually required by roots wher spread out in their natural position. In planting, the top soil should be broken down into the hole and worked carefully in between every root and fiber, filling up every crevice, that every root may be in contact with the soil and the whole made quite firm as the filling up progresses. The tree when planted may, in light soils, stand from one to two inches deeper than it stood in the nursery, but in every clay or wet ground it is advisable to have it stand at the same height as it was before trans- planting.

On account of the long, hot, dry summers, we have found it beneficial to shade the sunny side of the tree with a board or shake stuck in the ground a few inches away from it. For the first two or three years the tops should be shortened more or less, in propor- tion to size, variety of tree, and condition of roots.

GUARANTEEH.—While we exercise the greatest care and dili- gence to have our trees, etc, true to label, and hold ourselves in readiness, on proper proof, to replace all trees, etc., that may prove untrue to label, free of charge, or to_refund the amount paid, yet it 1s mutually understood and agreed to between purchasers and our- selves that our guarantee of genuineness shall in no case make us liable for any sum greater than that originally paid us for said trees, ete., that prove untrue.

A Word.

For general planting, one-year trees are usually preferred by our most experienced planters. Good yearlings of our No. 1 grade, with such roots as we grow in our soil, will convince our customers that they are plenty large enough. Planters on a large scale use our yearlings, as they cost less than two-year-olds. At the same time, when they come into bearing, are larger than if older trees were planted.

These are candid facts for the benefit of our many customers and future patrons. W. O. HUDSON. PACIFIC NURSERY CO., A. D. HUDSON. Tangent, Oregon.

Rule: Square Method.—Multiply the distance in feet between the rows by the distance the plants are apart in the rows, and the product will be the number of square feet for each plant or hill, which, divided into the number of trees in an acre (43,560), will give the number of plants cr trees to the acre.

Rule: Equilateral Triangle Method.—Divide the number required to the acre “square methcd” by the decimal .866. The result will de the number of plants required to the acre by this method.

A WORD TO THE WISE.

We conduct our business differently frem any other nursery tnat we know cf on the Pacific Coast. Most nurseries reiy on selling

>

their stock threugh agents at oul sle the prices that we charge for the same kind and quality cf stock. Ycu can, of course, crder f their offices, but then again they charge you fizures that conforu with prices their agents are selling for. This is called PROTECT- ING THHIR AGHNTS, which, of course, they must do if they sell their steck in this way. CUR WAY of doing business is rot threugh agents, but directly to the people who plant the stock; thus we have no agents to protect, and give you the benefit cf their profits and expenses. If an agent happens tocall on you. show him our price-. He will, of course, make the assertion that our stock is infericr and scrubby beside the stack he is offering (while our stcck is budded or grafted on whole rcots and free from insect pests, and is always as good and in many cases better than that which he would paim off cn you for dcuble the price). Ask him if his word is betier than people who have bought, planted and fruited our stock, and should know better than anyone else what they are talking about. (if you live in Oregon, Washington, a Utah, Montana, cr California, we can give you names cf pecple living in your locality who have tought of us.) This will head cff your ie agent, saving you his profits and expenses and giving us your patronage, which will

ated, vour order conscientiously filled, and with no BAe when your orchard comes into bearing. Hoping to be favered with your patronage, we remain,

22 PACIFIC NURSERY COMPANY, TANGENT, OREGON TESTIMONIALS.

Pacific Nursery Co., Rosalia, Washington, February 27, 1902. Tangent, Ore.

Dear Sir:—I bought sixteen hundred apple trees from you and out of the sixteen hundred I lost one tree. The Ben Davis the third year bore 85 boxes. The fourth year the Ben Davis and Baldwin bore 635 boxes. Our cherry trees are perfect; we had cherries up to the 20th of November. Our peaches never bore until this, the third, year. The Harly Crawfords couldn’t be improved upon; they measured from ten to twelve inches around. Our strawberries were the largest and best in the whole Palouse country; nine weighed a pound. I am perfectly satisfied in every respect with the trees. All the trees prove to be true to their name. I would like very much to have one of your catalogues ;

I should like to set cut some more trees. Yours truly, R. J. FISH. Pacific Nursery Co., Albany, Oregon, February 20, 1902.

Tangent, Ore. Gentlemen :—-The stock I purchased of you in ’95 was all right in every

respect. oe Yours truly, H. BRYANT. Pacific Nursery Co., Millville, Utah, February 18, 1902.

Tangent, Ore.

Gentlemen :—In reply to yours of the 15th, I will say that so far as I have ever been able to ascertain your trees are strictly reliable and true to name, and, furthermore, I find it easy to build up a good business on the strength of the orchards we have sold from your stock. The success the people have had with your trees in this country is grand, and this is the reason I would like to arrange with you for my future trade.. Not but what I can get all the trees I want elsewhere, as I have credit with half a dozen other nur- series from which I import trees, but, for instance, I met a man the other day, one of our old customers, who is pulling for an order for 3,000 apple trees for me on the strength of his cwn trees from your stock. He also got 100 of the one-year Ben Davis last year, doing fine. - F. R. CANTWELL.

Pacific Nursery Co., Vancouver, B. C., April 22, 1902. Tangent, Ore.

Gentlemen :—The fruit trees purchased from you in 1896 have fruited and have proved strictly true to name. I am perfectly satisfied with my purchase, and especially as your quotations were much lower than I could have bought elsewhere. Respectfully yours, ;

C. A. SCHOOLEY.

Pacific Nursery Co., Garnet, Idaho, February 22, 1902. Tangent, Ore.

Gentlemen :—Among the thousands of trees purchased of you in years gone by, I have yet to discover one the fruit of which is not true to its name. Your soil seems to give to stock exceptional vigor, and your grading and packing is all that could be desired. Sincerely yours,

GEO. P. HALL.

Gentlemen :—It gives me pleasure to state that every tree bought of you and planted has come true to name in my own orchard. Having also bought a great many trees of you for others, I have never yet heard of any com- plaints as to genuineness or quality of stock.

Dear Sirs:—Please mail me your wholesale catalogue. Perhaps you will recollect me as the Commissioner of Horticulture of this state. I am County Inspector of this county and on my own farm. What are the best terms you can offer me to act as your agent in this state. I think I could send you some good orders, as people come from a distance to consult me as what to plant. In such cases I enter into the merits of the case and recommend such varieties as I have found by observation to succeed under the conditions met. What I mostly recommend in the way of apples is the following varieties: Wagner, Grimes, Rome Beauty, Wealthy, Baldwin, Gravenstein, R. I. Greening, Spy, York Imperial, Duchess of Oldenburg, Yellow Transparent. Please let me know what stock you have of them, as substitutes would not suit the parties I advise. I select your nursery to order from, as I have never met with a case of bad infection from your house. Yours truly,

J. C. BAKER, County Inspector.
