IT PAYS TO PLANT 
THE. BEST TREES 
Apple growing pays hand- 
some profits, but in order to 
get these profits it is neces- 
sary to start with the best 
trees and the most desirable 
varieties. In our nurseries 
we have growing the finest 
apple trees it is possible to 
produce. All our trees are 
propagated on whole root 
stock insuring an unusually 
large root system, which is 
the base of plant growth. 
Our apple trees are scientifi- 
cally budded from selected 
heavy bearing strain trees 
of the variety desired. You 
have probably noticed how 
one tree of a variety yields 
more fruit than the same 
variety in the same orchards. 
We have selected our mother 
trees for propagation use 
from among the best of 
thousands of trees in our 
own commercial 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 outlook for the 
better things. 
Varieties to Plant 
The next most important 
thing in planting an orchard 
is the selection of varieties, 
in this itself lies the differ-

On your investment. In our test 
orchards we have tried out prac- 
tically every variety and find that 
there are but few worthwhile va- 
rieties to plant on a commercial 
scale. However, for local conditions 
there are a number of varieties 
that give satisfactory results. But 
in order to be safe we would recom- 
mend the following. 
Summer Varieties 
Early apples are very profitable 
in sections where they mature 
early, or in sections that have a 
local demand. The most profitable 
early apple is the Yellow Trans- 
parent and is by far the best. It 
is adapted to most every locality. 
Other desirable early apples are 
Williams Early Red and Duchess. 
In certain sections Summer Rambo 
and Starr are giving highly desir- 
able results. 
Autumn Varieties 
McIntosh Red is in a class by 
itself in this group, it brings extra 
fancy prices on the market. Grimes Golden is still the 
leading yellow apple grown, it is highly desirable for export 
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 Winesap 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 have made 
money for others and they will do the same for you. Other 
desirable winter varieties for certain sections are: Baldwin, 
Cortland, Nero, Rhode Island Greening, Red Rome Beauty 
and Gano.
