Everyone Should Plant an Orchard 
Every land owner should plant at least a small orchard. The blossoms alone would more than repay 
for the trouble, even the shade it might afford. The landscape effect it gives to the homestead is invalu- 
able, as no real homestead could be complete in appointment without its orchard; it’s the one dear spot 
in the memory of everyone reared on the farm that has its orchards. Still some people neglect such an im- 
f iortant feature in laying out their home grounds, and with all these benefits you may have fruit fresh 
rom the tree at your pleasure with a flavor that cannot be had in ones from a distant market. Could 
there be greater inducements for planting an orchard? 
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE I 
In a good many nursery catalogs you will find trees listed at extremely low prices, and this is the reason. 
They are the so-called Mail Size trees, that are little, scrawny, one-year grafts or two-year runts, that in our 
opinion are unfit for planting. The biggest loss is in the growth, as plantings made with these are from one 
to three years behind in growth, when planted with standard size trees. Also, the little trees are so small 
and low-branched that it is practically impossible to trim them and have a good shaped tree with branches 
where they should be. We do not plant the small trees, do not recommend them and absolutely do not 
sell them, as we feel that it would be a blot on our reputation to take anyone's good money for such 
stock. The hog and cattle feeders have learned long ago that it is a pretty risky proposition to buy “runts,” 
and we do not believe that any planter should let a few cents difference in first cost persuade him to plant 
any other than the high grade standard size trees that we offer. 
Dass’ Time-Tried Apples 
In late years the cost of bringing an orchard of 
Apples into bearing has been materially reduced by 
using peach and other fillers in the orchard. The 
Apples are planted from 33 to 40 feet apart and the 
filjers between. These fillers to be removed in from 
10 to 15 years. Any land that is well drained and 
not too dry will raise Apples, and the varieties we 
list are all time-tried and proven. 
Prices of 5 to 6 ft. trees, all varieties: 
30c each; 10 for $2.50; 100 for $23.00.

for several months.

clude some in your orchard.

orous grower and is irregular and drooping in

ity. Fruit stands handling remarkably well, is a good 
keeper and holds till late in storage. 
Plant Peaches for Quick Returns 
This fruit brings returns sooner than any other tree that can be planted. It is very desirable also for 
use as a filler in Apple, Plum and Cherry orchards, because it comes into bearing so soon and makes the 
orchard show a profit before the slower growing trees reach their bearing age. They are usually planted 
from 15 to 20 feet apart in permanent orchards, and do best on light, well drained soil. Trees should be 
severely pruned when planted, allowing them to make new branches on the planted trunk. 
Extra fine, 5 to 6 ft. trees, the best size to plant: 25c each; $2.00 per 10; $20.00 per 100. 
SOUTH HAVEN. Our stock of 
South Haven was budded from bear¬

the past several years and we recom¬ 
mend it without hesitation as being 
an extra fine sort. Is large sued, free¬ 
stone, yellow flesh and skin with red 
cheek; tree a quick, upright grower. 
ROCHESTER. This wonderful new 
Peach originated near Rochester, New 
York, and is of the Crawford type.

ford by a week, is more prolific, 
hardier, larger, prettier and fully its 
equal in quality. Its skin is thick and 
tough which makes it a good shipper. 
Light yellow to orange, blushed with 
dark red. Well adapted for both 
home use and market. Freestone.

Peach of the whole country. Per¬ 
fectly hardy and a strong growing,

varieties combined in the great mid¬ 
dle-west Peach belt, and we feel cer¬ 
tain that it will hold this place for 
many years. 
J. H. HALE. Fruit averages one- 
third to one-half larger than the 
Elberta; ripens about five days earlier 
and is much superior in flavor. Color 
a beautiful golden yellow with car¬ 
mine blush. Is only partially self- 
pollcnizing, so shoula be planted with 
some other variety such as Elberta. 
Freestone. 
GOLD DROP. A medium sized, 
freestone, strong growing Peach! 
with golden flesh and color; extra fine 
flavor and a world beater for canning

est Peach and a dandy flavored, good

roadside stands, as it comes early 
when tourist traffic is at its height and 
its wonderfully attractive color sells 
it on sight.

consider it the best by far. The trees commence to 
bear very young and produce big crops. Fruit is ex¬

DUCHESS DWARF. This is the king among the dwarf Pears, and the one that gives the 
most satisfaction to growers everywhere. Does not require much space for planting and bears 
enormous loads of high quality fruit. When fully ripe is a golden yellow, with a dull blush 
on the sunny side. When properly trimmed it docs not grow over five or six feet high, which 
feature makes it valuable for back-yard gardens and city lots. 
Plums 
In general. Plum 
trees thrive best in a 
sandy or clayey soil, 
that is well drained. 
They are usually plant¬ 
ed about 18 feet apart 
in permanent orchards, 
or where a wagon 
sprayer is used about 
20 feet. Many varie¬ 
ties of Plums produce 
so abundantly that the 
best results are obtain¬ 
able only by careful 
thinning. If allowed to 
grow naturally the trees will be weakened and the 
fruit will be smaller.

red, juicy and good. Trees erect and vigorous; very produc¬ 
tive; valuable for market. The quality is excellent, and it is 
one of the most popular Plums for canning, while its attractive

grow more rapidly, and make more pyramidal trees. 
Sour varieties are more dwarf and can be planted 
about 18 feet apart in permanent orchards. Sweet 
Cherries should be planted about 24 feet apart. The 
roots and tops of Cherry trees should be severely 
pruned when planted, to secure best results.

Ornamental Trees

head is four to six feet from the ground, flat and rather roof-shaped, giving it the appearance of a green 
umbrella. Leaves are large and dense, deep green in color. One or two of these Catalpa Bungei, planted as 
specimens in front of the home or in the garden or border, give a delightful formal touch that can be at¬ 
tained in no other way. Requires no trimming unless it is desired to keep the head to a certain size. Hardy.

Hedge Plants

the regular Japanese Barberry. Should be planted in the sun 
and not too close together for the best effect. Price, 2-yr.
