INTRODUCTION 
Suffer a word relating to the two methods of making Apple 
Trees, namely Piece Root Grafting and Budding on Whole 
.Roots. 
Figure 2 at the left represents a Piece Root used in what is familiarly known among 
Nurserymen as Root Grafting. In making and growing an apple tree after this method a 
piece of root 4 to 6 inches long is all the tree starts with. Figure 1 at the right repre- 
sents a Whole Root Seedling. One can usually get from the Whole Root Seedling three 
to five pieces when cut up. We have long since discontinued this method of propogating 
apple trees. Our trees are all grown from the Whole Root Seedling by budding; thus the 
tree starts its lite with the whole root instead of a small piece. It will readily be seen 
that the grower who makes his trees by the Piece Root Grafting method gets three to five 
trees from a single seedling root, while from the method of budding which we employ 
each tree is started with a whole root. Has this any significance to the planter from 
the point ol' a stron,a;er foundation and. consequently a longer lived orchard? You have 
a right to know how your trees are made. You get no Piece Root grafts here. We, can- 
not supply them because our trees are not grown after that method. 
OUR RECORD — Our appeal for your business is on the record our trees have made. 
For more than thirty^flve years we have been dealing direct with the comniercial planter. 
This experience equips us to submit to the prospective planter endorsements from scores 
of commercial fruit growers all over the country who have orchards of our trees which 
have been in fiill fruWase for years. Many of these are Orchardists of wide reputation 
both , far and near. Such evidence as this will fortify you against disappointment when 
your orchards begin to fruit. 
WH01iliS.\IjE PRICES — Even if we could, we have no desire to so ingeniously word 
this introd.uction as to cause you to think everything is sold at "W.Tiolesale " We issue 
no "Fake" or "Wholesale" catalog. We have always held that the best made tree is the 
cheapest and have constantly tried to educate and advise our customers to that effect.
