FRUIT TREES 



Because of their size it is impos- 

 sible to ship any of our fruit trees 

 by parcel post. In . dozen lots we 

 ship by express. Where larger quan- 

 tities are required we pack so care- 

 fully that shipment by freight is 

 perfectly safe. 



APPLES 



Plant 30 feet apart, each way, thus re- 

 quiring 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 

 1-year-old Apple trees to those wishing same for com- 

 mercial orchards. 



BALDWIN— Early winter. Dark red, of good 

 quality. Thrives best in Northern latitudes. 



BANANA— Late Fall. Waxen yellow, with 

 blush cheek, very beautiful; highest quality. 



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. 



GRAVENSTEIN— Large ; yellow, nearly cov- 

 ered with dull red. September and October. 



GRIMES' 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 ap- 

 ple of extra high quality. Deep red in color; 

 a splendid keeper.

 lowish green ; tender, juicy and rich. November 

 to March.

 Russet and a notable keeper. The flesh is 

 known for its peculiar yellow-green color, its
