APPLES 
The one fruit you can have FRESH all 
the year round—plant some of both 
early and late varieties—store all you 
need for ivinter use—it pays. 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS. Plant the trees 30 by 
30 feet apart, or, in a large planting, plant 35 by 35 feet 
apart and between every two trees plant a filler, such 
as a Peach. Dwarf Pear or Cherry tree. By the time 
the apple trees reach maturity, the fillers are removed, 
while the fillers in the earlier years will give you a 
valuable crop before the apples come into good bearing. 
Winter apples are the late varieties which keep well. 
Fall Apples are medium-late, will keep until about 
Christmas. In the northern states, fall apples are con¬ 
sidered winter apples. The summer apples are the 
early kinds, they are not fit for keeping, should be 
used or sold as soon as ripe; they find a good market 
in the cities. However, in the home orchard, plant but 
few of them. Winter apples are better for the family 
orchard. 
Arkansas Black. Rich 
dark red, a nice apple, 
medium large, of excel- 
1 e n t keeping quality. 
Hardy as far north as 
the southern half of Ne¬ 
braska. Ripens here 
middle of October. 
Ben Davis. The old, well 
known favorite for 
cooking and baking; it 
is a good keeper; very 
hardy. Middle of Octo¬ 
ber. 
Black Ben Davis. De¬ 
cidedly better in color 
than the common Ben 
Davis, quality about the 
same. It is also a good 
Richared Delicious keeper. Very hardy. 
Middle of October. 
Banana. Does well in the Middle West, but not in 
the extreme North. Flesh yellow, firm and juicy, 
has a rich flavor, spicy and aromatic. Bears young, 
and very freely. Apple golden yellow, usually shaded 
bright crimson; keeps well. First of October. 
Delicious. The common “True Delicious." So well 
known it hardly needs a description. It has always 
been a leader on the market. However, the new 
Richared Delicious, owing to the better coloring and 
greater keeping quality is gradually coming into 
favor on the market. Both are hardy apples. Ri¬ 
pens middle of October. 
Frantz. Very hardy. Grows strong and vigorously, bark 
smooth, does not crack from frost, or heat. Com¬ 
mences to bear young. The fruit is medium to large,

Delicious “Richared." This is the dark red Delicious 
apple, a new variety. Well colored before ripening, 
this apple can be picked when still hard-ripe, and 
when at its best for long keeping. As good in flavor 
as the true Delicious, and the tree is just as hardy. 
This is really the leading market variety of the day 
and whoever plants an orchard will make no mis¬ 
take selecting Richared for a fine winter apple.

of other apples. 
Golden Winesap 
We have sold this apple for 10 years, many of 
our customers who have planted this tree have 
sent us repeat orders after the first trees came 
into bearing. The apple is large, yellow with 
red cheek; an excellent keeper, and the tree, en¬ 
tirely hardy, commences to bear young, and 
freely. Try a few 
Golden Winesaps, 
you will like the 
tree and the fruit. 
There is no better 
apple for baking. 
Grimes Golden. 
Hardy as far 
north as the mid¬ 
dle of Nebraska. 
The quality of the 
apple is excellent, 
a rich aromatic 
flavor with hard¬ 
ly any acid. The 
apple is golden 
yellow, medium 
size. The tree is 
healthy, a strong 
grower, needs oc¬ 
casional pruning 
as it is inclined 
to grow bushy. End of September. 
Golden 
Winesap 
Ingram. Medium size, covered with red. Similar to 
the old Janet, or Geneton,. but much better. Keep* 
well in ati ordinary cellar until spring. You will be 
pleased with Ingram. Middle of October. 
Jonathan. Everybody knows the Jonathan, there is no 
other apple so much in popular demand as the Jon¬ 
athan, a medium sized red apple of excellent qual¬ 
ity. It keeps well until about Christmas, not much 
longer, unless it is in cold storage. Hardy as far 
north as the middle of Nebraska. End of September. 
King David. A very productive variety, good for the 
market. Apple medium size, better colored and more 
productive than Jonathan, and the quality is almost 
as good as of Jonathan. Very hardy, the tree bloom* 
late and often escapes late frost. First of October. 
Mammoth Black Twig (Paragon). A hardy tree that 
bears well. The fruit is dark red, large, firm, sub¬ 
acid and juicy: keeps for a long time, in fact, the 
longer you keep it the better it gets. Ripens middle 
of October. 
LADY JONATHAN- 
Pictured on Next Page 
An improved Jonathan. It is a better apple 
because it is a little larger, and keeps until 
spring, while the common Jonathan, as you 
know, is not a very long keeper. And this im¬ 
proved keeping quality and the larger size of 
the apple make the Lady Jonathan the out¬ 
standing apple-novelty of recent years. The 
tree is very hardy. We urge you to try the 
Lady Jonathan. Price of Lady Jonathan, 10c 
per tree in addition to the price of other apples.
