APPLE TREES 
Apple trees are easy to grow. They thrive in almost every climate and 
soil. The Apple is the King of Fruits. Never were all conditions more favor¬ 
able for the person who would plant an acreage of fruit for market purposes. 
A few acres of fruit with reasonably good care, will bring a larger cash in¬ 
come per acre than anything one can grow.
