Greening Bud Selection Means 
Constant Orchard Improvement 
More // A , s // — Fewer Culls — Bigger Yields — Bigger Profits 
Every line of effort in connection with Greening 
Bud Selection has been directed toward one all-im¬ 
portant and all-inclusive purpose, and that is, to make 
scientific bud selection commercially profitable to the 
grower. Science for science’s sake alone has no place 
in the Greening plan of action. Science for profit’s sake 
—for orchard improvement—is the primary objective 
of all Greening research. 
BIGGER CROPS 
Aside from the extra expense of picking (which 
you are naturally pleased to pay), the most prolific 
tree in your orchard costs no more in time, care and 
materials than the poorest mongrel. 
Greening Super Selected Trees produce the maxi¬ 
mum crop under any given set of soil and climatic 
conditions. They do it regularly and consistently, be¬ 
cause that profitable fruiting ability is bred into them 
by scientific bud selection. 
BETTER COLOR 
You see the possibilities for fruit improvement, 
through Greening Bud Selection, in the McIntosh 
orchard described on page 12—the possibilities of 
obtaining better and more uniform color. 
Color and general appearance are becoming more 
and more important all the time. Improved color is 
one of the major objectives in orchard improvement. 
Greening Bud Selection gives it to you. 
EARLIER BEARING 
Time is money—in the fruit growing business, more 
so than in practically any other business you can name. 
When you plant a mistake, it takes several years to 
find it out. Trees that lag in development-—that make 
their growth slowly—reach their bearing age late— 
are expensive trees at any price. In production, it 
isn’t “how much per tree” that counts, but “how much 
per acre.” 
Greening’s Super Selected Trees will average to 
bear earlier than ordinary fruit trees. 
UNIFORM RIPENING 
Any noticeable irregularity in blossoming and 
ripening complicates spraying, picking and marketing 
activities. A week or ten days variation in time can 
materially affect the salability and profit margin on 
your crop. 
Greening Super Selected Trees represent the high¬ 
est development of uniformly consistent performance 
in this respect.
