QUINCE ADDS FLAVOR 
The Quince is the ideal fruit for flavor¬ 
ing preserves, jellies, marmalade and 
cooked fruit. Trees thrive on well-drained, 
fairly rich soil, are long-lived, and being 
small, dwarfish growers, can be planted 
closely, 10 to 15 ft. Especially suited for 
yards and gardens.

APRICOT (Superb) 
Same Prices and Sizes as Plums 
Such delightfully luscious fruit as the 
Apricot really should be planted more 
than it is, especially since it ripens just 
after the early cherries and before the best 
peaches. Apricots will stand more winter 
cold than peaches, although the bloom is 
more apt to be injured by spring frosts. 
A northern or western slope is best so the 
opening of the buds will be retarded and 
the danger of frost damage lessened.

Bought Our Trees 7 Years in Succession 
“Your last shipment came through 
good, a good bunch of trees. We haven’t 
bought a tree from anyone else and 
have been pleased with your trees ex¬ 
cept the Grimes Golden Pippins which 
you got from another nursery for us. 
All the rest of the trees have made a 
good growth.”—W. P. Murray, Mich¬ 
igan. 
Our Trees Give Satisfaction 
“Of the stock I bought from you—I 
have all the trees growing and some of 
the apple trees are a great deal bigger 
than some trees I planted two years 
ago. If I plant more trees and if you 
have the trees I want I will order from 
your nursery. I found yours is a square 
deal and satisfaction.”— A. J. Silveira, 
California.
