APPLES 



A Lifetime Investment 



an unusually 

 large root sys- 

 tem, vrhich is 

 the base of 

 plant growth. 

 Our apple trees 

 are scientific- 

 ally budded 

 from selected 

 heavy bearing 

 strain trees of 

 the variety de- 

 sired. You have 

 probably no- 

 ticed how one 

 tree of a va- 

 riety yields 

 more fruit than 

 the same va- 

 riety in the 

 same orchards. 

 We ha^"e se- 

 lected our 

 mother trees 

 for propagation 

 use from among 

 the best of 

 thousands of 

 trees in our 

 own commer- 

 cial orchards. 

 Today we believe that we have more of the best 

 strains of apples in our nursery than any other 

 nursery concern. Practically ever since we started 

 in the nursery business we have been on the out- 

 look for the better things.

 order to get these profits it is necessary to start 

 V7ith the best trees and the most desirable varie- 

 ties. In our nurseries we have grov,-ing the finest 

 apple trees it is possible to produce. All our trees 

 are propagated on whole root stock insuring 



Varieties to Plant 



The nest most important thing in planting an 

 orchard is the selection of varieties, in this itself 

 lies the difference between profit and loss on your 

 investment. In our test orchards we have tried 

 out practically every variety and find that there 

 are but few worthwhile varieties to plant on a 

 commercial scale. However, for local conditions 

 there are a number of varieties that give satisfac- 

 tory results. But in order to be safe we would 

 recommend the following. 



Summer Varieties 



Early apples are very profitable in 

 sections v^•he^e they mature early, or 

 in sections that have a local demand. 

 The most profitable early apple is the 

 Yellow Transparent and' is by far the 

 best. It is adapted to most every lo- 

 cality. Other desirable early apples 

 are Williams Early Red and Duchess. 

 In certain sections Summer Rambo 

 and Starr are giving highly desirable 

 results. 



Autumn Varieties 



]McIntosh Red is in a class by itself 

 in this group, it brings extra fancv 

 prices on the market. Grimes Golden 

 is still the leading yellow apple 

 grown, it is highly desirable for ex- 

 port markets. Jonathan is an apple 

 that has been overlooked in the 

 Eastern orchards, it is a sure winner 

 and we advise to plant this variety. 



Winter Apples 



Delicious. Harrisons" Red Delicious, 

 Winesap, Rome Beauty. Stayman 

 ■\Mnesap and York Imperial are the 

 leading profitable late varieties. In 

 planting your orchard be sure to pin 

 your faith on one of the above. They 

 iiave made money for others and they 

 will do the same" for you. Other de- 

 sirable winter varieties for certain 

 sections are: Baldwin. Cortland, Nero, 

 Rhode Island Greening, Red Rome 

 Beauty and Gano.
