Apple Trees 



The apple is easily the first in importance of all fniits, the growing of 

 which is today one of the leading enterprises of the United States. 11 will 

 thrive on any well-drained soil, its period of ripening extends over a longer 

 period than any other fruit, and by careful selection of varieties, a constant 

 succession can be obtained. 



For family use no fruit is more indispensable or as healthy as the apple. 

 No one who has a place to plant should hesitate to plant an orchard, or at 

 least a few trees for family U£e. 



Good apples are worth as much today as California oranges, and you can 

 grow them right in your own garden or door yard. Good apples are always 

 in demand at fair prices, and if given the same care as other farm crops, will 

 yield greater returns. All you need is proper soil conditions and a determina- 

 tion to give your trees proper attention at the right t me and you are sure 

 of success.
