APPLE TREES 
SUPERIOR QUALITY 
because 
We use the best French Crab Seedlings possible to procure. They are budded, 
the buds are taken from selected bearing trees of known health, vigor and variety. 
They are grown on ground never used for growing apples before. They are 
dug when fully matured with an extra large tractor digger, insuring maximum root 
system. Every tree is individually inspected. 
PLANTING DISTANCES varies according to soil and varieties. We will 
describe them as upright which can be planted as close as 24x24 feet which takes 
75 trees per acre. Moderate spread 30x30 feet, taking 50 trees per acre, spreading 
32x32 on ordinary soils, taking 43 trees and 36x36 on rich heavy soil, taking 34 
trees per acre. When planting in a single row these distances can be shortened 
about four feet. 
PRUNING THE TREES. Two-year-old trees should have all but three 
branches taken off and these cut back to within three to six inches of the main 
stem. One-year-old if over 3*4 ft. high should be cut back to that height. In 
future years the plan should be to have no more than three main branches from 
each of which two are allowed to grow, from these form an open head through 
which sun and air reaches every part of the tree.

NAMED IN ORDER OF RIPENING 
We think that this way of telling their time of ripening is the easiest under¬ 
stood and applies to all sections. 
Yellow Transparent. —Earliest summer, waxen yellow, medium size, subacid. Up¬ 
right tree, doing well anywhere but best on lighter soils. 
Starr. —Early, profitable as a market apple, is large to very large, a splendid 
cooking apple. Is a good keeper and shipper; color greenish yellow, sometimes 
showing a red cheek, medium grower and does well on all soils. 
Melba. —A seedling of McIntosh. Large, red, ripening very soon after Starr; 
high quality. 
English Codling. —A very large green apple that the pie makers are using almost 
exclusively during the two weeks that its season covers. We recommend it as 
a market variety that you can plant anywhere even on low ground where no 
other variety will thrive, spreading, low branched. 
Red Codling or 
Monmouth Beauty. —The growth and appearance of the tree, shape, size and time 
of ripening of fruit is similar to Codling. Ripens just ahead of Wealthy, fruit 
large to very large; color is beautiful, red stripings and splashings over a yellow 
ground. Tree, spreading low growing, in one year olds only. 
Wealthy. —Fall, (almost entirely covered with red. Skin very smooth, flesh white 
large, fine quality for any purpose. Tree upright and is an early and heavy 
bearer on all soils but gives finest color on lighter soils. 
Opalescent. —The most attractive variety of its season. The best very large apple 
we have ever grown. It is very attractive in color, being glossy, rich, solid red 
that covers almost the entire apple, the ground being a clear yellow. 
Its size and color would sell it but its quality gets orders for the next day. As 
a baking apple it is unsurpassed. 
Grimes Golden. —Late fall, golden yellow, medium size, highest quality for cooking 
and eating. Moderate spread, light or gravelly soils. This variety needs severe 
thinning both in trimming and of fruit.
