wagonloatls of trust trees are a com
mon sight on the streets of Portland
ow-a-days, and it is evident that orchard-planting
is going on in this
Country at a rapid rale. Trees are
very cheap this year on account of so
many persons having gone into the
nursery business. Large lots have
been sold as low as two cents each,
which ia hardly enough to pay for
diggiug and bailing them. Many of
the nurserymen are oing out of the
business and aro selling cheap. Sev

nursery man remarked: "They always
want most what one has the least of."
