TO OUR FRIENDS 
We wish to thank our customers for their business given to us during 
the past year. During the past five or more lean years, when the public in 
general have been fighting for an existence, we have been able to carry on, 
and although our production has been less, we have always looked for quality 
and reliability in our stock and what we are offering this year is no excep¬ 
tion, whether fruit trees or ornamental nursery stock. 
There is a very decided shortage of fruit trees in the country, due both 
to drought in many sections, and to the fact that many nursery men either 
have been forced out of business or at least have greatly curtailed their 
production. Therefore, without any hesitation we suggest that if ever it is 
necessary to order early, it is NOW and for the next two years. The shortage 
will not reach its peak for at least two years more. Once more, ORDER 
EARLY and have the stock reserved until you wish to have it shipped in 
the spring.

another delivery of stock or refund the purchase price. But in any case the

Hollis ton, Mass., February 2, 1934 
Gentlemen: 
We have been buying trees from you for the past three years. We are sory that we did 
not start buying back in 1925 when we started developing our orchards here, for you cer¬ 
tainly live up to your local reputation for fair and square dealing. 
We shall certainly buy your trees in the future. You surely have used us U. A. 
Gratefully yours, Crestmere Farm, J. W. Hulbert, Supt. 
STANDARD APPLE TREES 
ORDER EARLY 
Permanent apple trees are usually planted about 40 feet apart. Some 
°rowers prefer more, some a little less. Some also use fillers, such as peach 
trees, or early bearing varieties of apples making them 20 feet apart or if 
planted only in the center of the 40 foot space the distance will be 2S i feet 
As the trees begin to crowd, taking out one half will leave them 28 feet 
apart and later when the remaining fillers are removed, the distance will 
be 40 feet. Thus an income can be had for many years, when the permanent 
trees will need only a portion of the land. 
For home planters who wish an unusually large tree, we offer seven year 
old, twice transplanted trees in the varieties designated. These two trans¬ 
plantings have made possible a wonderful root system so that the trees 
may be transplanted just as safely as small trees. 
There is now a very acute shortage of fruit trees in the country, probably 
more so than has existed for the past thirteen years. Our opinion is that 
this shortage will not reach its peak for two years more. If it ever is neces¬ 
sary to order early, it is now. Don’t delay.

Standard McIntosh and Red Strain Delicious, one year only at 10c each extra. 
*fBaldwin. Large, red, winter apple. Known by all. The only one of the 
older varieties which the 1925 New England survey showed would not ex¬ 
ceed 1925 production in 1935. 
*f Cortland. Very similar to McIntosh in flavor. Larger, darker red, 
ripens two weeks later, hangs to tree better, and well worth planting. 
Red Strain Delicious. A so-called “Blood Red” strain of Delicious, 
it colors early and should by all means be planted in preference to common 
Delicious. 
fDuchess. Striped red. Early Augitst. Following Red Astrachan. 
Early McIntosh. A cross betweejn McIntosh and Yellow Transparent. 
Originated at Geneva Experiment Station, New York. The fruit is very 
similar to McIntosh in all respects, ripening after Yellow Transparent, tree 
is a good thrifty grower and bears am$ ia liy. 
Fall Pippin. Well known Fall variety. 
Gallia Beauty (Red Rome Beauty). Generally considered to be the 
best red strain of Rome Beauty, an early and annual bearer of late winter 
apples which retain a bright, shiny appearance until spring. 
*|Gravenstein. Large, striped, red. 
Red Gravenstein. (Washington (Strain) Originated in the State of 
Washington—said to be the very best strain of Red Gravenstein, similar 
to Gravenstein, but a much darker rec}. 
Macoun. (Description by Ne\y York Fruit Testing Association. 
Geneva, New York.) j 
“Just as Early McIntosh advances the season for the McIntosh type 
of apple. Macoun produces a late crop of these red-skinned, white-fleshed, 
richly flavored, aromatic apples. The sfeason of Macoun is from one to two 
months later than that of McIntosh with Cortland midway between. In 
shape, the fruits of Macoun are similar 1 to those of McIntosh; the color is a 
darker red, less striped, and with a heavier bloom ; the flesh is much the same 
in color, texture, flavor and aroma. Hie trees bear regularly and heavily 
This promises to be an apple of great merit coming in. as it does, long 
after all other McIntosh—like apples are out of season.” 
*f McIntosh. Known by everyone. Season of picking, last of September. 
Melba. One of the newer varieties. Similer to Duchess in season and 
markings, but better quality and larger, 
Milton. (Description by New Yoj’k Fruit Testing Association. Geneva. 
New York.) ' . . 
“Milton is a sister of Early McIntosh which ripens its crop a month 
later. Its main value is that it’ is a McIntosh type which ripens before 
McIntosh. The tree is vigorous but not as large as that of Early McIntosh. 
The fruits are covered with a very pinkish red and heavy bloom. The flesh 
is white, tender, crisp, juicy, and of McIntosh flavor and aroma.

Opalescent. Very large, red apple. Fall. 
Red Astrachan. Best, early red apple. August 1st.

PEACH TREES 
Our observation has been that the planting and prices of peaches (fruit) 
fluctuates in about 10 year cycles. There was heavy planting of peaches 
previous to 1925 which has been reflected in lower prices in the fruit since 
1925. With little planting the past few years, and the very heavy cutting 
out of old orchards following the severe weather of the winter of 1934, our 
belief is that the production of peaches in the North Eastern part of the 
United States is now so much below normal, that those who plant now will 
produce on the up cycle of prices over the next ten years. 
For Spring 1935, we offer peach trees, just as usually offered, that is 
one year tops and two year roots, also a lot with one year tops and three 
year roots. We ran the tree digger under this latter block in the Spring of 
1934, thus cutting the roots, which has given an unusually nice lot of fibrous 
roots. The only difference in appearance of these two lots of trees is that 
those which have three year roots have somewhat larger butts and root 
systems. We show photos of both lots of trees. Peach tree production next 
vear will be very short. Plant Spring of 1935, save money on trees and be 
ready to take advantage of the higher prices of fruit which is most certainly 
coming.

TIME OF RIPENING IS FOR CONNECTICUT CONDITIONS 
Sunbeam. August 1st. Medium size fine flavor, white with red check. We 
offer a very limited quantity m tt and * only. 
Greensboro. August 1st. Medium size. White flesh. Very productive. 
Mikado. (June Elberta) August 1st. A very handsome roundish variety. 
Yellow flesh—excellent quality. 
Buttercup. August 3rd. Very similar to Mikado, but slightly larger. 
Marigold. August 8th. Yellow, sem.-free, ripening at a time which ,s 
very desirable filling a season where there has usually been a slight break. 
' Oriole. August 10th. Nearly free, yellow and starts to ripen just ahead 
of Golden Jubilee. . . 
Carman. August 15th. Medium to large. White. Very hardy variety. 
Cumberland. August 15th. Practically free, white flesh, dark red color¬ 
ing, elongated in shape, good size. Best white of its season. 
Golden Jubilee. The most outstanding introduction of the New Jersey 
Experiment Station. A block laden with rich golden yellow, red blushed fruit 
is a handsome sight. Similar to Elberta in general appearance, but a brighter 
golden yellow, slightly smaller size and much better flavor. 
Eclipse. August 25th. Medium size, yellow freestone, red cheek. 
South Haven. August 25th. A very large yellow freestone of Michigan 
origin. Tree is thrifty and productive. 
Belle of Georgia. September 1st. Probably the best known and most 
popular of white varieties. 
Elberta. September 4th. Known to all. King of Peaches. 
J. H. Hale. September 8th. Its extra large size, rich golden yellow color 
and handsome red cheek, fine flavor, and general attractiveness place it in a 
class by itself. For several years, Hale on our roadside stand have brought 
from 100 to 150% more than our best Elbertas. 
Brackett. Very similar to Elberta, following immediately after this 
popular variety. 
Lizzie. September 20th. Best of its season. Similar to Elberta, being a 
chance seedling of that variety. Not quite as much red, but otherwise similar. 
This variety and Brackett fill a season which has been badly neglected 
the past few years, and come at a time when peaches have been selling 
at about 100% more than earlier old time varieties. 
Peach Special No. 1. For those wishing a yellow freestone peach with 
handsome red coloring and shape of Elberta to follow immediately aftei 
Golden Jubilee, we offer Special No. 1. The original tree is a seedling stand¬ 
ing in sod uncared for. but its production has been such that we have pro¬ 
pagated from it, planted in our own orchards and have a few for sale. We 
hat e not attempted to introdtice the variety nor to give it a name, so when 
ordering, please specify Peach Special No. 1.
