The Apple thrives well in any good soil, that is well-drained and in 
condition for producing good farm crops. 
With particular reference to the most northern latitude of our country, 
we have taken pains to obtain and keep in supply a large stock of the 
Russian and Crab varieties, which being very hardy will stand great 
severity of climate. In this respect great progress has been made with- 
in the last few years. Many new and desirable hardy varieties of Apples 
of fine appearance and quality, as well as Crabs of choice flavor have 
been produced that will stand the severity of our most northern States 
or Canada. Sections heretofore deprived of this luxury, can now, by 
procuring trees of these proper varieties, produce in abundance the 
choicest Apples. 
We cultivate principally the following list of varieties. A few of 
them are new and come to us very highly recommended, but most of 
them have been thoroughly tested and have been proven to be the most 
desirable now cultivated. 
The following prices are for trees at the Nursery exclusive of packing. 
Standard Trees 5 to 7 feet high, 25 cts. each, except where otherwise 
noted. 
Standard Trees, extra size (such varieties as we can supply) 50 cts. 
each.
