Here Is An Object 
Lesson 
Root development should be demanded by the purchaser of 
Apple trees every time. We think this is of vital importance to 
every fruit grower. We want people to know the difference, and 
then if they choose to buy the low-priced tree and save a few dol- 
lars on the start it is their privilege; but, in our opinion, they will 
lose hundreds of dollars later on. 
It has always been our aim to produce the best and put it on 
the market for what it is worth. Our prices are not exorbitant, but 
are in keeping with the quality of the trees we sell and deliver. 
Our Apple trees are budded whole-root and guaranteed free 
from disease and true to label. 
Can there be any doubt as to which is the better tree to plant? 
No. 1 is our budded whole-root tree. 
No. 2 is a grafted piece-root tree.
