General List of Varieties and Prices of 



APPLE TREES 



No other fruit can take the place of the apple whether 

 it is planted for home use or in a large commercial 

 planting for profit. No other fruit will thrive over so 

 wide a range of soil and climate. No other fruit has the 

 general health-giving merits of the apple. THE APPLE 

 TODAY IS THE KING OF ALE FRUITS. We have 

 listed here some varieties that are adapted to most any 

 section of the WOKED, and you can select the varieties 

 which you know will succeed for you wherever you wish 

 to plant them. Statistics gathered over a period of years 

 show that FRUIT GROWING HAS PROVEN ONE OF 

 THE MOST PROFITABEE BRANCHES OF AGRICUL- 

 TURE. NOW IS THE OPPORTUNE TIME TO START 

 A NEW ORCHARD SO IT WILE BE IN FULE FRUIT. 

 ING IN A FEW YEARS AND YOU CAN REAP THE 

 BENEFITS DURING THE BETTER DAYS WHICH 

 ARE BOUND TO COME SOON.
