Apple Trees 



The apple is easily the first in importance of all fruits, the growing of which is today 

 one of the leading enterprises of the United States. It 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 use.
