Apples 
***^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ~ Neosho, Mo. 
The apple is the king of fruits. It is a tonic as well as a nutrient, and one of the 
cheapest and most wholesome foods. There 's a lot of truth in the old saying, " An apple 
a day keeps the doctor away." 
Apple trees will grow wherever com can be raised— in fact, there isn't a State in the 
Union, with one possible exception, where some variety of apple will not thrive. 
No agricultural investment is safer or more productive in profits than a good apple 
orchard, favorably located and well managed. The demand for fine fruit increases more 
rapidly than the supply. 
It is only the poor fruit 
— such as should never 
be shipped — that begs 
for a market. 
Every home garden 
and farm should have at 
least a few apple trees of 
summer, fall, and winter 
varieties. They will give 
satisfaction far beyond 
the time, labor, and mon- 
ey required. 
What Is more beautiful than an orchard In full bloom?
