A REPUTATION TO SUSTAIN 



The Vineland Nurseries 



CLARKSTON, WASHINGTON 



Has to offer for Spring Delivery, 1911, 

 as complete a line of Nursery Stock 

 as can be found in the Northwest 



All stock propagated from selected bearing trees. 



Experts all over the Pacific Northwest realize that no other nursery exercises greater care than we 

 do, and that 



No more reliable stock is grown than we produce. 



For fall delivery 191 1, and spring delivery 1912, we shall have to offer for the first time the

that peaches are used for fillers. They 

 come into bearing earlier than apples or 

 pears, and also some other fruits, and 

 several crops may be harvested while 

 the permanent trees are coming into full 

 commercial bearing. So long as the 

 fillers do not crowd the permanent trees 

 or render cultivation, pruning, etc., diffi- 

 cult they may remain in the orchard, 

 and produce an income from the spare 

 ground space. When they do begin to 

 crowd the permanent trees by way of 

 obstructing the free inlet of sunlight, or 

 interfere in any way with the proper 

 care of the permanent trees, they may 

 be removed, but they will have paid for 

 themselves many times over before it 

 becomes necessary to remove them. 



By further reference to the diagram it 

 will be seen that there are smaller dots 

 between the larger ones. Each small 

 dot represents a filler tree. The fillers 

 thus set will be fifteen feet distant from 

 the nearest permanent tree. In this case 

 the same number of fillers may be used 

 as permanent trees, or .5(>. The total 

 number of trees to the acre will thus be 

 112 instead of only 95 by the common 

 square method of planting. 



As aforesaid, it is presumed that one 

 acre is being thus planted. As there are 

 approximately 308^ feet on the sides 

 and ends of an acre square of land, in 

 setting the trees within an area of 

 105x183 feet 9 inches, as shown by the 

 diagram, there will be a margin on both 

 sides of feet 9 inches, and on both ends 

 of approximately 12 feet 4 inches.
