APPLES 
For Profit and Home Use 
APPLES FOR PROFIT- Although large quan- 
tities of apple trees have been planted the 
last few years, we see no danger of over- 
production of first-class fruit. Prices may not be 
80 high as they have been sometimes in the past, 
but there will always be a demand at good paying 
prices. Remember the population of the country is 
growing rapidly and the demand from foreign coun- 
tries increasing very fast. 
The amount of apples sold at $4.00 or more per 
bushel in our eastern cities in the last few years is 
something wonderful. 
AS AN INVESTMENT— There is nothing better 
than an apple orchard intelligently handled. After 
10 years or so it insures its owners a generous in- 
come. We know of several instances where trees 
14 or 15 years of age have produced apples that 
sold for $25.00 per tree or at the rate of $1,000 
per acre. An income of $200 or more per acre from 
a well cared for apple orchard is very common and 
10 or 20 acres may be cared for by most any farmer. 
Each acre may be made to yield a better net in- 
come than $3,000 in the bank. 
It Will Pay You to Plant 
Our Apple Trees 
Our one-year trees will stand the shock of trans- 
planting better than older trees. They begin to 
grow immediately and, in two or three years' time 
will be as large or larger than the older tree. The 
reason is that we are able to get a greater propor- 
tion of roots to the tops than we can with older trees. 
Then they do not get broken or mutilated in digging 
and packing as they are smaller and more pliable. 
It should be borne in mind that the roots of a 
one-year apple tree are three years old, the top only 
one year, which is as it should be for you have an 
abundance of the best roots, while the top may be 
started high or low as desired. 
One-year apple trees are being planted more and 
more by experienced growers, many of whom have 
planted them for several years and the fact that 
they repeat their orders, causes us to believe that 
they consider them the best for planting.
