FRANK BAS5ETT. 



Undoubtedly one of the most valuable 

 of all winter apples, remarkable especially 

 for its long keeping qualities, and destined 

 surely to attain great popularitj'. It. 

 possesses all the valuable properties of 

 Ben Davis, with the addition of high, rich 

 quality. The fruit, in size and form, is 

 large to very large, globular, tapering 

 slightly toward the blossom end, invari- 

 ably smooth and perfect, and deep bril- 

 liant red in color; flesh firm and crisp- 

 With only ordinary care it will keep in 

 good condition until July. The tree is a. 

 strong vigorous grower, and a heavy 

 annual bearer ; comes into bearing unusu- 

 ally early. The sterling merits of this 

 really fine winter apple, render it one of 

 the most profitable that can be grown, 

 for market; and most desirable for the 

 home garden. I have carefully watched 

 the variety for a number of years and its 

 sterling merits lead me to the belief that 

 erelong it will excel in popularity as a 

 market fruit the famous Ben Davis and 

 all other winter apples now in cultivation 

 in the East at least. See illustration. 

 First-class, each, 50c; dozen, $5.00; 100*

CRAB APPLES

 red with blue bloom; flesh yellowish, tender,, 

 excellent ; very popular. Late. 



TRANSCENDENT. Large ; yel-

PEARS. 



Plant Standards 20 ft. apart each way-108 trees per acre. Dwarfs 1 to 10 feet apart. 

 Dwarf pears are those budded on quince stocks, and although valuable for those who have but limited space for plasting*. 

 vet are by no means so reliable or productive as standard trees. If planted deep they will form what are known as halt 

 standards" which are usually productive and profitable. Dwarf pears must be given high and careful culture and pruned, 

 annually.

 each, 25c; dozen, $2-50; 1 OO, $12.00. 



I can supply all the varieties named both as Standards and Dwarf excepting Kieffer, which is grown only as a standard.
