<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif;">The Putnam
County Master Gardeners are conducting a Fruit Tree Fundraiser during the month
of January and February. The public is
invited to place their order for trees from Adams County Nursery, Inc. in PA
with a bulk order placed by the local Master Gardener program. Order early as some trees run out early. Pending on the total number of trees that the
group orders, typical savings per tree (when ordering 100 trees or more) are $18/tree
for apple and pear varieties and approximately $17/tree for peach, plum and
cherry trees. Last year we ordered 150
trees and trees averaged $12-$15 per tree.
Orders and payments must be received by February 28<sup>th</sup>. Price breaks, premium charges, disease
resistant varieties, rootstocks and pollination considerations are located at
the company’s website (<a href="http://www.acnursery.com/acn_trees.php">http://www.acnursery.com/acn_trees.php</a>). A limited number of catalogues are available
at the WVU Putnam County Extension Office.
A $22 donation to the Putnam County Master Gardeners will be collected
for each individual order; payment includes tree wraps. To place an order or for further questions call
Town and Country Supply (Rock Branch) (304) 755-3520. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14pt;">Nancy Ross Hugo has had the privilege of living among trees, writing about trees, and learning about trees for most of her life. As garden columnist for the <i>Richmond Times-Dispatch</i>, education manager at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden, and writer for publications including <i>Horticulture</i>, <i>Fine Gardening</i>, and <i>American Forests</i>, she has been combining her love of the outdoors with her love of the written word for over 30 years. She is the author of five books, including <i>Seeing Trees</i> and <i>Trees Up Close</i>, and she led initiatives to locate and celebrate Virginia’s oldest, most historic, largest, and most interesting trees, a four-year project that resulted in the publication of <i>Remarkable Trees of Virginia</i>, a book that has been called “a spectacular tribute to trees.”<u></u><u></u></span></div>

The Tri-State Farm & Food Conference has been met with incredible enthusiasm from folks in the greater Huntington area. We are striving for even more enthusiasm as we gear up for the 2015 conference.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.4px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
After a two year hiatus, we are happy to be gathering again in the Tri-State. The conference’s aim is to revolutionize the food-shed to help farmers and food producers run viable businesses through agricultural education, in the 50 mile radius of Huntington. This effort reaches an area that encompasses 15 counties located throughout West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.4px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
We hope that you will take advantage of the experts we have and that you will form relationships that will continue after the conference. We are fortunate to have so many gifted people who are always happy to help farmers and food producers in anyway they can.</div>
