FRUIT TREES 



Because of their size, it is impossible to ship any of 

 our fruit trees by parcel post. In dozen lots we ship 

 by express. Where larger quantities are required we 

 pack so carefully that shipment by freight is perfectly 

 safe. 



JUDGE THEM BY THEIR STURDY TRUNKS AND GOOD ROOT SYSTEMS— The Nursery 

 business recognizes certain practices and standards. Fruit trees are generally sold according to 

 age, but since in various classes the growth per year as far as height is concerned varies consid- 

 erably, it is not always safe to judge the age of a Fruit tree by its height. Customers may feel 

 assured that the trees we ship measure up to the most critical standards which our half century 

 of experience in the business has taught us.' 



Plant 30 feet apart, each way, thus requiring 48 trees to properly plant one acre. 



AH apple trees offered in this catalog are two years old or older, and first class in every 

 respect; we have never grown better. Price of all varieties of Apple trees (except Lovett), each, 

 75c.; dozen, $7.50; 100, $40.00. 



We will be glad to quote by letter extra fine 1-year-old Apple trees to those wishing same for 

 commercial orchards. 



BALDWIN— Early winter. Dark red, of good 

 quality. Thrives best in Northern latitudes. 



DELICIOUS—No other sort, within the rec- 

 ollection of the oldest fruit growers, has so 

 completely won the country on the basis of 

 sheer merit, as has "Delicious." The apples 

 vary slightly in shape and coloring in different 

 sections and on different soils, but are always 

 of good size. Early winter. 



DUCHESS (Oldenburg)— Early autumn. Ex- 

 tremely hardy. Medium to large; yellow, 

 streaked with red ; very productive. 



CORTLAND — A super-McIntosh, with larger 

 fruit and of better color. The fruits ripen later 

 and keep longer than those of the old favorite, 

 and they duplicate Mcintosh in shape and 

 flavor. Autumn. 



GRIME'S GOLDEN— Of just medium size, 

 but very delicious ; matures in early winter. 

 Because of its extraordinary quality, this apple 

 does not keep well — it's eaten as fast as it can 

 be gotten hold of! 



JONATHAN— Late winter. Round, of me- 

 dium size, fine grained and of acid flavor. 



LOVETT APPLE— This splendid variety, 

 which we introduced about fifteen years ago, 

 is certainly one of the very best of all summer 

 apples. It ripens early in August, and produces 



heavy crops, not just occasionally, but prac- 

 tically every year. The attractive red fruits 

 are standards of perfection, not only in appear- 

 ance, but also in high quality. We are indeed 

 proud of our namesake. Extra selected two- 

 year-old trees. Each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00. 



McINTOSH — Autumn. A most beautiful 

 apple of extra high quality. Deep red in color; 

 a splendid keeper. 



RHODE ISLAND GREENING— Large, yel- 

 lowish green; tender, juicy and rich. November 

 to March. 



ROME BEAUTY— Winter. Mostly red with 

 some yellow ; excellent keeper ; reliable. 



STAYMAN»S WINESAP— One of the finest 

 apples for fancy trade and always in demand. 

 Of delicious, spicy flavor and juiciness. A great 

 favorite for cider of exceptional flavor, Novem- 

 ber until late April. 



WEALTHY— Unique in its production of 

 white fleshed, juicy beauties. Though of only 

 medium size, the fruit is exceptionally hand- 

 some and smooth. A splendid winter variety. 



YELLOW TRANSPARENT— One of the 

 finest among the extremely early bearers. Very 

 productive of medium to large apples of uniform 

 shape. Flesh white, juicy and spicy.
