BETTER TREES MEANS BETTER FRUIT 



Nursery stock grown under careful supervision means 



GREAT ADVANTAGES TO THE PLANTER 



Twenty years of practical experience in the orchard, as well as the nursery business, means 

 that we know how to grow trees that will give results. Henry Holterman, of Creswell, Oregon, 

 says of our stock: "Of the 1,800 apple trees purchased of you last spring, we did not lose one 

 tree. The orchard is the best, for the time being planted, of anything in this vicinity. Sold for 

 $300 per acre in less than six months after being planted." 



Let us figure on your want list. Our prices are right. A special discount on cherry trees for 

 a limited time — 15 to 20 per cent, according to grade and quantity.

"As the bud or scion, so the tree." "As much difference in trees as in 

 cows and hens." — Thornber. 



Yakima - Sunnyside Nursery Gives the Orchardist FIVE POINTERS 



1. Plant trees propagated from bearing trees only. 



2. Use trees with strong tops, good roots, and mature wood. 



3. Be sure roots have been thoroughly protected in digging and shipping. 



4. Know that there should be a man behind every tree. So know the man 

 as well as the tree. 



5. Lay well the foundation of your future orchard by getting the best of 

 everything. 



How to make these five points stick.

Editor Better Fruit: 



I enclose $1 to renew my subscription to "Better 

 Fruit," as I value it highly. It has accomplished 

 wonders for the fruit industry and has had much 

 to do in placing Hood River in the most enviable 

 place it now occupies as a fruit producing section. 

 Wishing you continued success, I am, very truly 

 yours, E. M. Reeves, W'averly, Iowa.

Editor Better Fruit: 



You bet your life on my renewal. I have 

 mvested a number of dollars in various ways, but 

 the hundred cents I enclose herewith are yielding 

 the best returns. I wouldn't be without your 

 paper, and sincerely trust that you may see fit to 

 continue this valuable publication until time shall 

 be no more. Yours, Alfred R. Sellenthin, Hamil- 

 ton, Montana.

Editor Better Fruit: 



Your kind letter and copies of the best fruit 

 publication in the world are both here. I would 

 like very much to swell the subscription list in 

 Dakota, and I know I could do so. It is going to 

 be a question with me, however, of using my lim- 

 ited time to the very best advantage. However, 

 you may always rest assured that although I may 

 not be able to represent you actively, I will lose 

 no opportunity to boost for "Better Fruit" and its 

 enterprising editor. Truly yours, C. Louis Allen, 

 Aberdeen, South Dakota.

 Editor Better Fruit: 



I believe that my subscription expires January 

 1st, 1911, and herewith enclose $5 — five" years' 

 subscription in advance — which is itself testimony 

 of my appreciation of your valuable publication. 

 Your December issue is, without exception, the 

 best sent out. Wishing you every future success, 

 believe me, yours truly, Guy Seaton, Spokane 

 Bridge, Washington.
