FRUIT DEPARTMENT 



APPLES 



The apple is universally recognized as the most desirable fruit of the United 

 States, because of its great varieties of delicious flavors, nutritious qualities and 

 nutrative value. Whether as commercial crop or for the satisfaction of the family, 

 a well selected orchard of a few varieties is a most desirable investment for any 

 land owner to place on his premises. 



We recommend the planting of a few thrifty trees from one to three years 

 old and from four to five feet high as such are more safely handled than older and 

 larger trees.
