lot planting of apple trees, with an abundance of fruit 
for the home, has helped to tide over many a hard 
time. This year Ferris’ Apple trees are finer than ever— 
hardy, grown under the most expert conditions, grafted 
on whole root, with scions taken from bearing trees to 
eliminate any possible mistakes in varieties. Buy now at

Average height about 4 ft.—best rooted lot that 
we have ever grown—fine, smooth, select trees, with 
3-year root and 2-year top. Each, 50c; 10 for #4.00; 
25 for #8.50. 
Explanation: On account of the early dry season last year, 
our apple trees made more root and less top than usual. They 
will average a little smaller than last year, running nearly 4 ft. 
high with the exception of Anoka and Whitney, which average 
smaller. 
(If Apple trees are desired by parcel post, add 10c per tree 
extra for trimming, packing, and postage). 
DUCHESS OF OLDENBURG. The head of the list 
for summer cooking apples. Hardy everywhere; bears 
young and abundantly. Fruit is large, streaked with 
red, and of fine quality. 
YELLOW TRANSPARENT. Summertime’s golden 
yellow apple that should be in every planting. Me' 
dium size fruit in great abundance every year, juicy, 
tender, and of fine flavor—excellent for eating or 
cooking. 
RED JUNE. The old favorite early red apple, the first 
to ripen and so good to eat. 
EARLY HARVEST. Medium size early apple of clear, 
waxy yellow; juicy, good quality. 
RED ASTRACHAN. Best early red apple for the 
North, bearing young and heavily. Good size fruit, 
dark red, fine quality. 
ANOKA. The wonderful new apple that usually starts 
bearing the next year after planting. Large fruit, 
striped with red, quite similar to Duchess in appear' 
ance and flavor. Just imagine—the second year after 
planting you will be having fresh apple pie from your 
Anokas in July. 
Fall and Early Winter Apples 
WEALTHY. The grand fall apple that does well every' 
where. Large size fruit, with vivid stripes of red; 
flesh fine, juicy and of wonderful quality. Bears 
young and heavily. Good for cooking and eating.
