POSITIVE PRODUCERS 

 IN YOUR ORCHARD 



This tells you how to get them ! 



This is an age of efficiency. The world hasn't any use for 

 drones. It's a case of produce or "git." 



A great development has been taking place in recent years 

 in the development of what has become known as "Perform- 

 ance Record" Fruit Trees — a family of trees that have been 

 bred from supreme producers. 



As the poultryman has created, through selection and cross 

 breeding, a hen that lays 325 eggs a year, so has enterprising 

 genius caused the growth and development of a strain of trees 

 that are known to be best performers. 



If you own an orchard or intend planting fruit trees this 

 year, you should immediately take steps to learn of this new 

 idea in fruit growing. 



The Winfield Nurseries of Winfield, Kansas, have pub- 

 lished "The Moncrief Orchard Book" which tells the story. 

 It is most interesting and helpful. It contains surprising 

 facts and testimonials that will point the way to positive 

 success in your orchard operations. 



Write now for a copy. The book is free
