I hope this is all clear. If not, do not hesitate to ring me, I would so appreciate it.
This was such a disaster. Only the pear trees are thriving now, and only in the last two years have they flowered.
It isn’t easy to grow hard fruits in the garden in my climate and no one told me so; not the catalogue, which succeeded in convincing me that their nursery was situated in a climate even more severe than my own; not my fellow gardeners, who were always serving me a delicious apple pie from their exceptionally productive little orchard—but they had inherited the little orchard from the farmer whose house they had bought. I inherited two apple trees from Dr. Woodworth (a Granny Smith and something else, a red one), but the apples always turn out distorted and crippled-looking, as if someone had assaulted them on purpose when they were tiny; and on top of that, when I cook them, I have to add a lot of sugar just to get a taste sensation of any kind.
It is six years since I sent this order, and after vowing never to
order fruit trees through the post again, I am looking at this very same nursery’s catalogue and I am making up an order. Oh, please, someone, Help Me!
