Destruction : 50,000 Bearing Size Fruit Trees Will be Destroyed Unless the 

 People Want Them for the Cost of Digging, Packing and Clearing the Land 



In our valley are approximately fifty thousand bearing 

 age fruit trees that are on leased land and that are getting 

 too large to work and the land must be cleared this spring 

 for food crops. 



These trees are 3, 4, and 5 years old- 

 some of the early varieties have had 

 fruit on this year. We are going to 

 transplant all we can of them, but 

 spring is our busiest season and we 

 have to work night and day to get our 

 orders off and we have lost a good 

 deal of our help for the Army and 

 labor will be scarce. We figure there 

 will be 50,000 of these trees that will 

 not be taken care of — we are offering 

 them to you for what it cost to dig 

 and pack them and clear the land. 

 These trees are well grown, have good 

 fibrous roots and well shaped heads. 



These trees must be dug and 

 the land cleared off this spring 



and unless the people who read this notice take 

 them they will be burned up. 



This is your opportunity to start an orchard of large trees 



Important 



I have just received the following message from the 

 Victor Deitriche Co., Angers, France, one of the largest 

 seedling growers in that country and for whom 1 am the 

 American representative. 



We have here in France very few seedlings of Apple, 

 Pear, Cherry, and Plum for this spring and not much of any 

 for next Spring. victor Deitriche, 



Angers, France. 



The seedlings from which all fruit trees in America are 

 grown come from France with the exception of a few Apple 

 and Pear. This message means that we will receive but a 

 very few seedlings in the next two years if we receive any at 

 all. If we do not receive the seedlings from France there will 

 be very few trees for sale 2 years from now as these seedlings 

 cannot be successfully grown in this country. 2 years from 

 now you will be lucky to get 1 year trees for gi.oo each. 



Take This Warning 



Get what you want now while you have the chance. No 

 matter whether you only want a few for your home garden 

 or whether you want to plant an orchard. 



that will bring you in quick returns and at a time when the 



orchard business is going to boom. 



The finest orchards in the world have been destroyed in 

 Italy, Belgium, and France — hundreds 

 of thousands of fruit trees — it will take 

 many years before these orchards can 

 be replaced. America must supply 

 the fruit for these people — every paper 

 you pick up tells about the destruction 

 of the orchards in these countries and 

 the immense revenue it has been to the 

 countries both for home consumption 

 and for export. We must supply not 

 only these countries with jruit but also 

 the countries they exported to. 



The consumption of fruit in the 

 United States will be triple what it 

 has been before on account of the high 

 cost of meat, sugar and other articles. 

 The food administrators are advocat- 

 ing now the planting of fruit in every 



available spot in your gardens and on your farms and they 



are also advocating the consumption of fruit in place of 



meat and other food stuffs.

Co-operation 



Don't take just what you want for your orchard 

 now, or what you feel you can plant but take 100, 

 500 or 1000 of these trees, plant what you can of 

 your orchard this spring, put the others in rows 

 five feet apart and let them stand until next fall 

 or next spring or whenever you get ready. We 

 will give you special instructions how to handle 

 them in this way. 



Have a Tree Planting Day in Your 

 City or Town this Spring 



We will make a special price on a car load of 

 these trees to the Mayor, Chamber of Commerce 

 or Board of Trade of any town who are interested 

 in their town and who would like to see their 

 people get the opportunity to secure these, bearing 

 size trees for just what it costs to dig, pack and 

 clear the ground. If you are interested in securing 

 some of these trees, talk with your neighbors 

 about it and get them interested. Any individual 

 can have as many of these trees as he may want 

 as long as they last. Bring a car into your section 

 and see how readily they will sell for 30 and 40 

 cents. Make a tree planting day in your city this 

 Spring. Fruit is going to be high for years to 

 come, and if your people have fruit they will 

 conserve on other food stuffs. Let us give you 

 plans to start the movement. Let your people 

 have these trees rather than have them destroyed. 



Not one cent to be paid until trees are distributed to the people 

 and everyone satisfied. 



First come first served — we can only serve a few — it will cost you 

 nothing to get information but you had better wire or write us now. 



We have been wholesale fruit tree growers for 25 years. 

 Our trees are now in bearing in some of the largest orchards 

 in the United States. 



Our catalogue "Good Fruit and How to Grow It" contains 

 description of all varieties of fruit trees, dwarf fruits, berries, 

 currants, etc. It will be mailed FREE. 



Order your bearing size direct from this notice or you may be 

 too late.
