FRUIT GROWERS ARE PROSPEROUS 
AND INDEPENDENT 
Is there a paying orchard on your farm? If not, let these facts sink in: Fruit growers have more money than general 
farmers. They don t have to work so hard. We can prove to your entire satisfaction that these statements are true. 
A one-acre apple orchard should yield 100 bushels when the trees are four years old, 200 bushels when five year* old 
1 ? <»0(, bushels when ten years old. The average cost of apples in properly handled commercial orchards, including 
marketing in boxes, is less than 70 cents a bushel. The selling price of good apples is $1.25 to $2 a bushel box. 
The net profit on two good crops from one acre of apple orchard will buy an automobile. Three apple trees give more 
profit than an acre of potatoes. Two apple trees give more profit than an acre of corn. One apple tree gives more 
profit than an acre of hay. Is there any reason why you should raise hay and grain and potatoes, and no apples ? 
Don’t Waste Your Time on Your Grandfather’s Trees 
The president of a big corporation said that their scrapheap was the most valu¬ 
able department they had—it contained dozens of good machines that were 
thrown away because they were not so good as the ones that replaced them. 
If you have an old apple orchard, you may profit by acting upon the scrap pile 
idea. Bnt you don’t need to throw away your old trees. Let them do their poor 
best for a few years yet, and plant a new and better apple orchard this Spring. 
Old apple orchards seldom yield half what properlv grown and cared for ten- 
year-old trees will. They usually contain a medlev of varieties—odd sorts not 
in demand today. \ our grandfather’s best apples are not best now. Plant the 
varieties that will he popular when your trees bear. If vou give such trees good 
care, $100 an acre each year is the smallest net return you may expect. 
Grow Apples That Sell Direct to Consumers 
City people have learned that they can buy apples by the bushel box direct 
from orchardists. By doing this they get finer apples, in better condition The 
cost, delivered by express, is less than retail grocers charge for inferior fruit 
even when $2 to $3.50 is paid for apples in the orchards. 
You can net $2 or more a bushel for all the flawless apples you grow if 
you will pack them right and if you grow the right varieties. For this purpose 
grow Stayman, McIntosh, Baldwin, Jonathan, M. B. Twig, Rome Beauty 
3nd \\ mesap. This is a look ahead for your benefit. If you are prepared to 
give your orchard and fruit first-class care, you can make a lot of money by 
planting an orchard to grow fruit for this demand. 
Grow Apples That Are Good for Baking 
The custom of baking apples has increased during the past few years fully ten 
times over. Restaurants and hotels cannot get enough of the apples that'bake 
well. This demand will continue to increase because the baking of apples is 
based on a sound and wholesome idea. 
Only a few varieties do hake well. 1 lie best are Baldwin, York Imperial, Stark, 
Cano, Ben Davis and Rome Beauty. These sorts bear heavily and regularly. 
They succeed with ordinary care, and some or all of them are at home from 
New England to Missouri and Georgia. The trees should begin to bear at six 
or seven years old, and if sprayed properly should net more than $100 an acre 
after the tenth vear.

Plant Only Trees That Are RIGHT 
If you give your orchard good varieties, good soil, water 
and air drainage, and proper care, it will produce surely 
and promptly the fruit and the profit you expect—unless 
the trees fail you. 
But what about the trees ? How do you know they are 
true to name and will bear heavily? What if they should 
not prove to be Stayman or Baldwin or York Imperial 
as planned,but worthless varieties or even worthless seed- 
lings ? \\ hat if they should turn out to be apple trees that 
refuse to bear well, no matter what attention they get ? 
^ our only protection against this source of failure is to 
buy trees from a nursery that has its trees bear RIGHT. 
This nursery must be square enough to stand back of its 
trees till they bear. It must do a business big enough, 
and must be worth enough financially, to make its guar¬ 
antee as good as a well endorsed note. With anything 
less than this, you take a needless, useless risk, and it is 
you who lose if the trees are wrong. 
way to be safe and to have a successful orchard is to plant 
Harrison trees. These trees are larger. straighter and smoother than 
most others. 1 hey are absolutely hardy in all apple sections. They __ 
arc budded from bearing orchards. \\ e sell only trees we grow our¬
