THE SALEM NURSERIES, SALEM, OHIO 
APPLES-The King of All Fruits 
The scions from which these trees were budded came from the most profitable orchards in this 
part of the state. Our old experienced orchardists assist us in getting the scions and we feel in 
this way we can give a tree that will make a better grade of fruit and be more profitable to 
the planter. 
This stock has all been budded on French Crab root, a hardier stock than the native American 
and will come into bearing in one half the time. 
We are glad to offer to our customers this list of apple trees, covering the varieties that have 
proven valuable in a commercial way as well as home use. When ordering for roadside market 
or home use one should choose varieties covering all seasons of the year, but for wholsesale market 
choose not more than two or three varieties. Apples will command a higher price when offered in 
car lots of one variety. We have the following stock to offer in one and two year trees. 
3 to 5 ft. Whips 30c each $25.00 per hundred 
2 yr. 5 to 7 ft. 50c each $40.00 per hundred 
2 yr. 4 to 5 ft. 40c each $30.00 per hundred

Gentlemen: 
It is a pleasure to recommend your nursery to 
anybody who wants fruit trees that are of good 
quality and true to name, also reasonable in price, 
this statement being based on my own experience 
with trees for a forty-acre orchard that was plant¬ 
ed in 1920 and 1922. One row of the Jonathans 
averaged three bushel per tree in 1926, and the 
other vari'eties have also started to bear nicely, 
particularly the Stayman and the Rome. 
Very truly yours, W. H. Matthews.
