WHY NOT BUY MORE FRUIT TREES? 
How many dollars a year do you spend for fruit—either fresh 
or in cans? 
Did you ever stop to think that one-tenth that sum invested 
in a few trees, would give you many times the amount of fruit you 
buy—and keep on giving it to you, year after year? 
If you have ground enough for a fair-sized garden, you have 
room enough for fruit. A single tree will yield from 50 to 150 quarts 
of fruit. We have seen 20 16-quart baskets taken from a single tree, 
under regular commercial culture. A good young apple tree will give 
from two to four barrels of fruit. 
Fruit trees require so little care, as compared to vegetables, 
that your whole home orchard will not take many hours work dur¬ 
ing the entire year. 
You can grow as fine peaches and apples as sold anywhere if you 
plant the right kind of trees.

this is a proof of its excellence. It is a very early variety, ripens in 
July and August. It is desirable for the home orchard because of its 
earliness and its excellence for dessert and culinary purposes.

trade. Thousands 
of barrels of this 
fruit are export¬
