Grow Fruits Freely 



For Garden Efficiency 



America must be the food factory for the world's millions. Every acre 

 ought to be a "two-cropper." Fruits are as important as potatoes and 

 wheat, or corn and cabbage. Vegetables mean "one-crop gardening," 

 fruits mean "two-crop efficiency," for vegetables can be grown between the 

 fruit rows — and the fruits bear year after year. 



"Hoopes* Specialties" in Fruits 



For Garden and Orchard 



presents select varieties of Apples, Peaches, Cherries, Raspberries, Grapes, and other valuable 

 fruits for home garden or orchard. The quality of these fruits is backed by a firm who has 

 spent 63 years in growing everything needed for home and orchard planting. Send to-day for 

 this useful booklet.
