One-year trees always are best. Don't let any one or anything convince you to the contrary. 



One-year trees will be as big in five seasons as two- or three-year trees planted at the same time, and will 

 bear sooner. They may be headed as they should be, and finally, they usually cost you less. In short, 

 practical orchardists have ceased to buy trees older than one year, preferring the one-year trees to two- or 

 three- year trees, even when the younger trees cost more. We list two-year trees for those who are not yet 

 convinced; but you had better take our word tor it and select one-year trees.

A LIST OF SELECT VARIETIES 



BALDWIN. A good late keeper when grown in the North. Standard in the section from New England 

 to West Virginia. Fruit large, round, splendid red all over; rich subacid; splendid shipper. Quick and large 

 grower; yields big crops, but does nor bear young. We have fine Baldwin trees. We recommend it highly 

 for northern Pennsylvania, New York, all of New England and similar country. Good care will make 

 Baldwin trees bear when six years old, if proper cross-pollination with other varieties is secured. 



GRIMES' GOLDEN. September to March. Usually rated (at the 40th parallel) as a fall Apple. 

 Good in September, but later on it is even better, and the best markets usually have Grimes' Golden, as 

 far as the supply will permit, through December and January, and even February. Keeps without losing 

 any of its crispness or rich flavor. It is medium-sized, cylindrical- shaped, golden yellow, tender, rich, 

 aromatic, spicy like a peach, subacid, delicious. Nc better 

 sort exists for eating raw or for cooking, and few Apples 

 are more profitable commercially. Quality is too good for 

 any but the best trade, and will justify packing with all 

 care in boxes. Tree is very hardy and productive, and one 

 of the best fillers, as it comes into bearing very early. Blos- 

 soms come late in the spring, frost seldom catches them. 

 A quality Apple in every way, a quality orchard tree in 

 growth, health, and all characteristics. Grimes' Golden 

 is one of our few best sorts. We have thousands of bearing 

 trees in our own orchards — showing what we think of it. 



McINTOSH RED. A Canadian Apple; keeps long, 

 but is mellow and good to use almost from the time it 

 is picked till the next crop comes. Requires no special 

 storage to be kept like fresh. Fruit tender, juicy, subacid. 

 Quick and spreading grower; long-lived; bears big crops. 

 Mcintosh Red is the Apple now making Montana's Bitter 

 Root Valley famous. There, as well as in New England, 

 New York and Michigan, its high quality and attractive 

 appearance put it in the lead. It is extra-good for all the 

 higher and colder sections ol this country. Trees bear in 

 three and four years, and make fine fillers. 



NERO. Here is an Apple possessing great merit, 

 which has received far too little attention from planters 

 of eastern orchards. Deep red, with handsome shading, 

 above medium size, of good quality and excellent flavor; 

 one of the longest keepers; mellows for use in the fall if 

 kept in a warm place, but if stored is fine in May and June. 

 Apples are graded and packed easily, do not show bruises, 

 and hold up well in storage and on the market. The trees 

 are among the most satisfactory that we have. They are 

 hardy, healthy and big; free from disease and productive. 

 We advise you to learn more about Nero, and to make 

 extensive plantings of it. 



RED ASTRACHAN. July and August. Medium 

 size; yellow, with large, dark red patches; decidedly acid 

 and juicy; excellent for cooking. A handsome Apple, 

 selling for a good price; vigorous and very hardy. A very 

 heavy bearer every other year. Succeeds well under Atlan- 

 tic coast conditions south of New York. It is extensively 

 grown through Delaware, Maryland, the Virginias, etc., 

 at the lower elevations. Many New York and New Eng- 

 land growers, however, find Red Astrachan a good kind.. 

 Their nearness to large markets is in favor, because of its 

 extreme earliness. How to raise a perfect orchard cheaply
