The Boiken Apple 
This Boiken apple tree was purchased with 
four others of the same kind of The Barnes 
Bros. Nursery Company in the spring of 1906. 
The picture was taken the last of October, 
1912. After taking the picture the fruit was 
picked and from this tree four bushels and 
three pecks were taken. Every apple was 
easily picked by a short man standing on the 
gi-ound. One other tree of the four had a 
larger amount of fruit and the four trees to- 
gether yielded between fifteen and sixteen 
bushels. The tree yielding the most has stood 
in the border of a grass plot for the past four 
years, being spaded around and mulched the 
first two years after it was set. For the last 
four years the land has been plowed on one 
side of it up to within about five feet and 
this year (1912) had early cabbage and late 
stone turnips taken off the ground. The trees 
arc good growers and the wood withpy, the 
limb.s as you can see in the picture laying 
their ends on the ground, and only one small 
limb broken on the four trees and that for 
the reason of improper pruning. 
Big Money is Made in Evaporated Fruit. The Demand for 
it is Enormous and is Increasing Daily. Ttiis One Demand 
Will Draw Heavily on Apple Raisers..
