FALL PLANTING SUGGESTIONS FROM 



FRUIT TREES 



f WILLIAM'S 

 EARLY 

 RED 



The Peer of Summer Apples. 



THE LOVETT 



After having thoroughly tested this remark- 

 able variety for a period of ten years, we con- 

 sider it to be: 



Finer in quality and texture than any other 

 summer fruiting variety. The most beautiful 

 apple we have ever seen. As strong a grower 

 as we have ever seen. 



It ripens with us the early part of August 

 and when ripe is fully up to Mcintosh in qual- 

 ity (to be frank, we like it better); it is also 

 of better color than Mcintosh, being a 

 brighter red. The fruit is above the average in 

 size. We believe Lovett is destined to become 

 a most popular summer apple. Each, $2.00; 

 dozen, $20.00.
