Apples for Profit and Use 
APPLES FOR PROFIT— Although large 
quantities of apple trees have been planted the 
last few years, we see no danger of over pro- 
duction of firat-class fruit. Prices may not be 
so high as they have been sometimes in the 
past, but there will always be a demand at 
good paying prices. Eemember the population 
of the country is growing rapidly and the de- 
mand from foreign countries 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. At these 
prices apples are prohibitive to the working 
man and his family, who are the greatest 
consumers of apples. When they are within 
his reach — at a price of .$3.00 to $4.00 per 
barrel — it is not necessary that they be fancy. 
They must be reasonable in price. They can 
be grown with profit almost any where in our 
eastern states. 
AS AN INVESTMENT there is nothing 
better than an apple orchard intelligently 
handled. After 10 years or so it insures its 
owners a generous income. We know of sev- 
eral instances where trees 14 or 15 yrs. 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 income than $2,000 in the bank. 
It Will Pay You to Plant Our 
Apple Trees 
One-year trees will stand the shock of trans- 
planting better than older trees. They 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 proportion of roots to the top 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 them to plant. 
Every home should have a full supply of 
apples and by selecting a succession of varie- 
ties a supply may be had the entire year. If 
your grounds are not large enough for a va- 
riety of standard trees, plant dwarfs.
