The 



Commonest 

 Mistake 



now being made by orchardists is in planting 

 a hodge-podge of varieties, a little of every- 

 thing and not much of anything. When it 

 comes to marketing the most important assets 

 are a known brand and a uniform pack. 

 Miscellaneous lots of fruits are hard to sell. 

 Are you planting trees for the pleasure of 

 experimenting or to make money? The ques- 

 tion of varieties is pretty well settled, if you 

 are of an open mind and willing to investi- 

 gate. The Spinks is really the only one to 

 consider. It embodies the good points of all 

 the others combined with none of their de- 

 fects. The tree is sturdy, cold and heat re- 

 sistant, rapid growing, early bearing, pro- 

 lific and holds its fruit for months after ma- 

 turity. The fruit is of the finest quality, ex- 

 actly the right size and far surpasses all others 

 in external beauty. What other points of 

 merit could you suggest? Why give your 

 time and valuable space to other kinds?
