OmFRUIT GARDEN 

 T APPLE TREES THAT 

 EARIN FOURYEARS 



You don't have to wait eight to ten years to get fruit from your apple 

 trees. The very finest varieties begin to bear in four years when the trees are 

 properly propagated, grown and trained, and have their bearing habits inbred. 



1600 Stayman Trees, Five Years 

 Old Average Three Bushels Each 



That's the record this year in one Delaware orchard. In other states, trees three years old 

 set forty apples each, four yea rs old matured a bushel each, five years old two bushels each, and 

 six years old five bushels each. Some varieties set a few apples at two years old and bear heavily 

 at four and five years. These are standard trees. Dwarf trees bear even younger. 



Harrison Berlin-Grown Trees 

 Are Successes In Home Gardens 



They are propagated from parent trees in bearing, selected because of superiority. They 

 are famous for their big. fibrous root systems and straight, thick trunks. Our loose, fat soil and 

 ocean climate make them larger, straighter, cleaner, hardier, and better growers than others. 

 These qualities induce early bearing. Few other trees equal these. 



The evidence is in our new 1014 Catalogue. It's full of plans and information for planters.

 mentals. Sent on request.

Decorative Trees For Sale 



Some six years ago, a gentleman, who has a country place 

 nearby, imported from France and planted in his Nursery 

 seedlings of a large number of ornamental trees and plants. 

 He allowed for a large mortality but they have thriven well 

 and he has a much larger number than he requires. 



The Nursery contains at present: 



10,440 Norway Spruce Trees 

 560 White Pines 

 1,460 Norway Pines 

 150 Silver Tip Cedars 

 110 Flat Leaf Cedars 

 110 Gold Tip Cedars 



60 Magnolias 

 120 Flat Hand Cedars 

 1,250 Rhododendrons 

 90 Larches 

 360 Scotch Pines 



14,710 



All about 

 six years 

 old 



They have nearly all been transplanted at least once and 

 are in splendid condition, having been subjected to a winter 

 temperature which sometimes runs below zero. I am author- 

 ized to dispose of a large portion of the Nursery at reasonable 

 prices. Correspondence invited. 



The trees will be shown to any one seriously interested. 

 Sterlington is about one hour from New York on the Main Line 

 of the Erie Railroad.
