Fruit Trees for Commercial Orchards and 



Home Gardens 



^ ^i'wA'-v 



WITH the use of fruit ever increasing, fruit 

 trees present an even bigger interest than 

 heretofore, both to the commercial grower 

 and the home owner. 



About the home, even the one with but a moder- 

 ate amount of planting land available, the judicious 

 selection and use of fruit trees will solve both the 

 problems of fruit for the table and shade for the 

 yard. 



Every fruit tree listed in this guide is of the high- 

 est quality, with large, sturdy trunk and a well developed, healthy root system. 



Apples 



EVER THE MOST POPULAR FRUIT 



Combining, as it does, all of the characteristics of a healthful, easily digested, palatable and 

 attractive fruit, the apple remains the most popular of fruits. It is among the easiest to cultivate 

 and most profitable of all fruit trees grown in temperate climates. From among the several 

 thousand varieties grown we have selected those that are the best and will respond most readily 

 to the growing conditions of this country. 



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



All 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, one-year-old Apple trees to those wishing same 

 for commercial orchards. 



Baldwin — Early winter. Dark red, of good 

 quality. Thrives best in Northern latitudes. 

 Banana (Winter Banana) — Late fall. Beautiful 

 waxen yellow with blush cheek, large, very beau- 

 tiful, highest quality. 



CORTLAND 



A decided improvement on Mcintosh, an excellent 

 variety for late keeping, and also a splendid shipper. 

 Comparatively speaking, Cortland averages larger than 

 Mcintosh and is more uniform in size. Fruits are 

 more highly colored, the red being of a lighter and 

 brighter shade. The flesh is quite firm and juicy. In 

 season of ripening it comes several weeks after Mc- 

 intosh, and the apples cling longer and better to the 

 trees. 



specimen to behold. Ripening in the early part 

 of August, it produces an Apple of pleasing 

 flavor, firm flesh, and above average in size. 

 While the above characteristics would be suffi- 

 cient to make it popular, it possesses, in addition, 

 a texture of flesh and aromatic flavor that make 

 it one of the finest quality Apples imaginable. 

 Superior in many respects, to old Mcintosh. 

 Each, ^1.50; dozen, ^15.00. 



Delicious — (See illustration of a typical speci- 

 men on this page.) No other sort, within the 

 recollection of the oldest fruit growers, has so 

 completely won the country on the basis of sheer 

 merit as has Delicious. The Apples vary slight- 

 ly in shape and coloring in difl-erent sections and 

 on different soils, but are always of good size. 

 Early winter. 



Lovett Apple — Years of association with the best 

 in nursery stock has made us especially careful 

 of the new variety of plant, flower, tree or shrub, 

 to which we give the name, LOVETT. Twelve 

 years ago, with fullest confidence that it would 

 be a credit to us, we named this Apple The 

 Lovett. And today, after submission to all tests 

 of climate and cultural conditions, as a fruit 

 par excellence, and a sturdy, well growing tree, 

 it has justified itself. It is an abundant summer 

 bearer, unusually prolific, and a most beautiful
