A FRUIT ORCHARD FOR $12.50 



LOOKING at it from the standpoint of 

 either pleasure or profit, is there 

 anything that surpasses an orchard ? 

 When the pleasure of it only is considered, 

 you have early in the spring a gorgeous 

 burst of blossoms, in midsummer the ripen- 

 ing fruit, in the late summer luscious 

 home-grown fruit, and enough over, if you 

 have a part laid out in apples, to store 

 and enjoy the winter through. 



If the orchard is looked at and desired 

 merely for profit, the results are even more 

 interesting. For example, one of our cus- 

 tomers netted this season $14 from one 

 four-year-old Elberta Peach Tree. An 

 acre, at this rate, would yield a profit of 

 $1,400! Another netted $8 from one ten- 

 year-old Yellow Transparent Apple Tree. 

 Another $6 from one four-year-old Abun- 

 dance Plum Tree. Still another customer 

 wrote us that a single Bartlett Pear Tree 

 gave him a profit of $10. 



It is not necessary to go into this thing 

 in a large way, and we make the planting 

 of a small orchard a matter of trifling ex- 

 pense. This is possible because we are 

 one of the largest growers of fruit trees in 

 America, having more than a thousand 

 acres in our nurseries, and sell to the 

 large orchardists of the country in car- 

 load lots. We frequently sell for single 

 orchards from fifty to one hundred thou- 



Isn't it worth while to get a yield like this every year ?

 commercial orchardist. This stock is grown 

 in the rich Maryland soil, and is perfectly 

 hardy in severe Northern climates. 



Lay out some of your unused land in 

 orchard. It requires but a little attention 

 and will yield you large dividends in pleasure 

 and profit. We shall be glad to advise any 

 reader of The Garden Magazine relative 

 to the planting of an orchard, whether large 

 or small, and suggest other combinations 

 than those offered above. Write us today.
