Selling Fruit Trees

Dad started selling fruit trees from the stark catalog for extra money. He would take the orders and send them in for the people. This was before we moved to Erma and he actually sold some to Mrs. Sirrus who would later be our neighbor. When I got out of the army, she gave me two of the fig trees she bought from him and I moved them to the yard in Erma. I put one by the cabin door, so that fig tree stayed in the family for a long time.
