Apple trees, 



There is no fruit grown that is as staple as the apple, none can 

 be so nearly distributed to the four quarters of the world in its 

 natural state with so little expense of packing or in a more eco 

 nomical package, and there is no fruit that will receive the un- 

 interrupted demand for fro long a season. The foreign demand 

 for our commercial apples is so rapidiy increasing and the home 

 consumption so great over this vast domain that the theory of 

 over production must crumble and give way to the real facts 

 that the production can hardly be so gre it but that remunerative 

 prices will always be obtained, and since there are seasons in 

 which partial failures wil occur in some portions of the country, 

 which is frequently the case, the fruit grower will then be far in 

 advance in dollars and cents of the ordinary til er of the soil. 



No fruit is more in demand, more universally liked, or more 

 generally used than the apple. Its uses are many and of inesti- 

 maole value. The earliest ya- 

 rieties commence to ripen the 

 latter part of June, and the 

 later varieties can be kept un- 

 til the coming of the early 

 kinds thefollowingyears, mak- 

 ing it a fruit in perfection the 

 entire year. 



The apple it- a world renowned fruit of temperate climates, al 

 though not possessed of the richness, melting and delicious quali- 

 ties of the pear or peach, yet its great adaptation to a great vari- 

 ety of soils, together with the long time through which many va- 

 rieties may be kept in a fresh state, its various uses, and the prof- 

 its accruing from it as a market fruit, it must be regarded as 

 holding the very first rank among the fruits There is no section 

 of country where it attains such perfection as it does in this nor 

 where its cultivation can be made more profitable than in Vir- 

 ginia, West Virginia and parts of Pennsylvania, although there 

 may be other states equally as well adapted, in fact our own 

 state. It is evident that some apples that are highly esteemed 

 in one locality are worthless when removed to another soil or cli- 



'•Cheap" fruit trees are the most i 

 e xpensive in the long run. Beware J 

 of a man that offers you an article | 

 at less than its reai value. Ours are I 

 as good as the best and as cheap : 

 the cheapest.
