BETTER FRUIT 



January 



We are 

 there 



THIS is a photo of some of the trees 

 we showed at the Third National 

 Apple Show, Spokane, November 14-19, 

 1910. We did not attempt in the limited 

 space assigned to us to show other than 

 apple trees, and . of these only ten of 

 the leading varieties. What we did 

 attempt to show, however, was repre- 

 sentative samples of our standard sizes 

 in apple trees, samples which we match 

 up in their grades with trees delivered 

 to our customers. 



And the''Roo-oots" 



Nurserymen have become accustomed 

 to being placed in the Ananias Club, 

 together with real estate men, success- 

 ful Western orchardists and "live wires" 

 generally, hence it did not hurt our feel- 

 ings when about nine out of ten who 

 looked at the wonderful root system 

 on our trees doubted our word when 

 we told them they were developed in 

 eight months from transplanting in the 

 nursery. It's a fact, nevertheless, and 

 that's one of the reasons why we lay 

 claim to superior stock. 



Soil, climate, sunshine, cultivation, moisture — the five essential elements in the production of first- 

 class trees. 



Our trees have the benefit of all. Eliminate any one and you fail to get good results. The Yakima 

 Valley and a kind Providence supply the first three, we supply the fourth, and all three of us work 

 together to supply the fifth. The result is found in our perfectly rooted, fully matured trees, which are 

 entirely free from pest or disease, the latter due to our isolation from old pest-breeding orchards or for- 

 est trees, such as are found in many less favored localities. 



This month (January, 191 1) we are in the midst of our winter grafting, which will include over two 

 and a half million apple and crab and about 250,000 pear. Our scions are procured from bearing orchards, 

 and this year we grew all our own seedling stock, the finest we have ever used. 



We welcome visitors at any time. There's always something of interest going on here, winter and 

 summer. Order, system and eliiciency get bigger results in the nursery business than in many other 

 industries, and you, the customer, should know that the nursery from which you obtain your trees 

 has all three. It's our pride to grow the best. Our customers can tell you better than can we whether 

 or not we make good.
