APPLE TREES 



OF THE many varieties of early winter apples now being offered 

 on the market we have selected after careful investigation six 

 of these varieties, which, from our customers' reports as well as reports of various State Agriculture 

 Colleges and horticulturists, are considered to be the best for commercial purposes as well as home plant- 

 ings over the widest area of this country. These early winter varieties usually start fruiting about the 

 time the late summer and early autumn varieties are picked, although the ripening season will var>' in 

 different sections of the country. The advantage in 



planting this particular season apple is to fill in the 

 gap between the autumn and late winter varieties 

 so that a continuous supply of apples can be offered 

 the market, or, if for home planting, plenty of 

 apples will be available until the late varieties, such 

 as Delicious, Stayman, and Baldwin, begin to fruit. 

 The quality of these varieties is exceptionally good 

 and are well-knowTi to commercial planters 

 throughout the apple growing section. TOWN- 

 SEND'S Select Strain trees, we feel confident, will 

 produce some extra nice fruit from these varieties.
