Everyone Should Plant an Orchard 
Every land owner should plant at least a small orchard. The blossoms alone would more than repay 
for the trouble, even the shade it might afford. The land scape effect it gives to the homestead is invalu- 
able, as no real homestead could be complete in appointment without its orchard; it s the one dear spot 
in the memory of everyone reared on the farm that has its orchards. Still some people neglect such an im¬ 
portant feature in laying out their home grounds, and with all these benefits you may have fruit fresh 
from the tree at your pleasure with a flavor that cannot be had in ones from a distant market. Could 
there be greater inducements for planting an orchard? 
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE! 
In a good many nursery catalogs you will find trees listed at extremely low prices, and this is the reason. 
They are the so-called Mail Size trees, that are little, scrawny, one-year grafts or two year runts, that in our 
opinion are unfit for planting. The biggest loss is in the growth, as plantings made with these are from one 
to three years behind in growth, when planted with standard size trees. Also, the little trees are so small 
and low-branched that it is practically impossible to trim them and have a good shaped tree with branches 
where they should be. We do not plant the small trees, do not recommend them and absolutely do not 
sell them, as we feel that it would be a blot on our reputation to take anyone s good money for such 
stock. The hog and cattle feeders have learned long ago that it is a pretty risky proposition to buy “runts,” 
and we do not believe that any planter should let a few cents difference in first cost persuade him to plant 
any other than the high grade standard size trees that we offer. 
Dass’ Time-Tried Apples 
Jonathan. 
In late years the cost of bringing an orchard of 
Apples into bearing has been materially reduced by 
using peach and other fillers in the orchard. The 
Apples are planted from 33 to 40 feet apart and the 
fillers between. These fillers to be removed in from 
10 to 15 years. Any land that is well drained and 
not too dry will raise Apples, and the varieties we 
list are all time-tried and proven. 
Prices of 5 to 6 ft. trees, all varieties: 
60c each; 10 for #5.75; 100 for #55.00. 
Summer Apples 
YELLOW TRANSPARENT. This is the best of 
all early summer Apples; excellent for both cooking 
and eating. Fruit large, crisp, tender, juicy, mildly 
sub-acid. Skin yellowish white when ripe. Tree 
medium sized, vigorous, hardy and quick growing. 
It is excessively productive and bears at an early 
age. Brings top prices on all markets, and is excel¬

son Apple that is very beautiful. The tree is very 
hardy, vigorous, and quick growing. Will do well 
in all sections of the country. Flesh is pure white,

know of no fall Apple that is its equal. It originated 
in Canada and is, therefore, very hardy. Plant at 
least a few trees and have good Apples while win¬ 
ter Apples are ripening. These will keep in storage 
for several months.

a good cropper. Fruit is red with light streaks. Qual¬ 
ity good, juicy, an excellent cooker and canner. Is 
a hardy tree, and a good, quick grower. Bears young. 
Winter Apples 
GRIMES GOLDEN. The nearest to perfection 
of any yellow winter variety now in general culti¬ 
vation. Is a large sized, golden yellow Apple, with 
extra fine flavor, and good keeping qualities. Tree 
a quick grower, and bears young. Don’t fail to in¬ 
clude some in your orchard. 
STAYMAN’S WINESAP. This Apple is now 
attracting attention everywhere as a profitable mar¬ 
ket variety. It has large size, dull red color, great 
productiveness and best quality. The tree is a vig- 
orous grower and is irregular and drooping in 
habit, and adapts itself readily to different soils and 
climates.

Apple. Tree a large, vigorous, open grower, up¬ 
right in tendency and very productive. Fruit large,

popularity in so many different Apple sections as 
the Delicious. Fruit extra large. A brilliant bright 
red; flesh fine grained, crisp and juicy with a delight¬ 
ful aroma. Is of very highest quality. Tree one of 
the hardiest and a quick grower and bears young.

Greening that sells readily at good prices on all 
markets. The best Apple for cooking purposes that 
there is grown, and also excellent for dessert use.

grows large and spreading; does well in any soil and 
climate. 
JONATHAN. A beautiful all-red Apple, me¬ 
dium in size, highly flavored, and of excellent qual¬ 
ity, being tender, juicy, spicy and rich. A splendid 
market and family sort. Tree long lived, productive 
and an early bearer. Will keep well without special 
care, and will stand much handling. « 
NORTHERN SPY. This is a fine Apple for cul? ^ 
nary use and its exceptionally fine flavor makes It 
invaluable as a dessert Apple. Fruit extra large, firm, 
tender, crisp and juicy; mild sub-acid flavor. Skin 
pale yellow with bright pinkish red, and me ttled 
with carmine. Tree large and vigorous. 
WINTER BANANA. Fruit large to very large.

and also esteemed as a dessert Apple. Tree vigorous, 
comes into bearing at an early age.

rod on yellow ground, handsomely colored. Flesh nearly white, 
slightly tinged with yellow or green, firm, moderately fine 
grained, rather crisp, juicy, aromatic, agreeably mild sub-add, 
good quality. Fruit stands handling remarkably well, is a good 
keeper and holds till late in storage. 
Plant Peaches for Quick Returns 
This fruit brings returns sooner than any other tree that can be planted. It is very desirable also for 
use as a filler in Apple, Plum or Cherry orchards, because it comes into bearing so soon and makes the 
orchard show a profit before the slower growing trees reach their bearing age. They are usually planted 
from 15 to 20 feet apart in permanent orchards, and do best on light, well drained soil. Tree should be 
severely pruned when planted, allowing them to make new branches on the planted trunk. 
Extra fine, 5 to 6 ft. trees, the best size to plant: 45c each; #4.00 per 10; #35.00 per 100. 
SOUTH HAVEN. Our stock of 
South Haven was budded from bear¬ 
ing trees and they certainly arc fine.

all early Peaches on the market for 
the past several years and we recom¬ 
mend it without hesitation as being 
an extra fine sort. Is large sized, free¬ 
stone. yellow flesh and skin with red 
cheek; tree a quick, upright grower. 
ROCHESTER. This wonderful new 
Peach originated near Rochester, New 
York, and is of the Crawford type. 
However, it. precedes the Early Craw¬ 
ford by, a week, is .more prolific, 
hardier, larger, prettier and fully its 
equal in quality. Its skin is thick and 
tough which makes it a good shipper. 
Light yellow to orange, blushed with 
dark red. Well adapted for both 
home use and market. Freestone. 
ELBERTA. The standard market 
Peach of the whole country. Per¬ 
fectly hardy and a strong growing, 
disease-resistant variety. Color yel¬ 
low with red cheek; flesh yellow and 
highly flavored; freestone; skin ex¬ 
ceedingly tough and will stand long 
shipments better than any other 
Peach. There are more acres of 
Elbertas now bearing than all other 
varieties combined in the great mid¬ 
dle-west Peach belt, and we feel cer¬ 
tain that it will hold this place for 
many years. 
J. H. HALE. Fruit averages one- 
third to one-half larger than the 
Elberta; ripens about five days earlier 
and is much superior in flavor. Color 
a beautiful golden yellow with car¬ 
mine blush. Is only partially K )f, 
pollenizing, so should be planted with 
some other variety such as Elberta. 
Freestone. 
GOLD DROP. A medium sized 
freestone, strong growing Peach' 
with golden flesh and color; extra fine 
flavor and a world beater for canning 
prolific'’bearer'^ 17 ^ 3 vtr ^

Pears of Proven Varieties 
Bartlett Pear. 
The Pear tree will grow on almost any good soil, but thrives best in a rather 
heavy clay or loam. Soil should be well drained and kept under cultivation 
for best results. Standard varieties are planted about 18 to 20 feet apart for 
permanent orchards and the dwarfs about 10 feet. Dwarfs must be planted 
deep enough to cover the junction of Pear and Quince about two or three 
inches. Prices, 5 to 6 ft. trees, 60c each; #5.75 per 10; #55.00 per 100. 
BARTLETT. This is the most popular Pear, both for home use and market, that the world 
has ever known. It is buttery and rich with a high flavor. The tree is strong and vigorous in 
gr.owth. Bears young and abundantly. It is a leader among canning Pears, and when well 
grown is the universal favorite and commands top prices. 
CLAPP’S FAVORITE. A superb, large, long yellow Pear, highly flavored and richly 
flushed with russet-red next to the sun. The flesh is fine grained, juicy, melting and buttery. 
A fine grower’and enormously productive. Comes about two weeks earlier than Bartlett. 
SHELDON. One of the most highly prized late Pears; comes on some time after Bartlett 
Roundish shaped and greenish russet with richly shaded check. Flesh a little coarse, melting, 
juicy with a very brisk vinous, highly perfumed flavor. A vigorous grower and a good bearer, 
even while quite young. 
SECKEL. Often called the Sugar Pear. Is small in size, one of the richest and highest 
flavored Pears grown, always in demand for desserts and luncheons. Tree makes a somewhat 
slow, but stout and erect growth. 
KIEFFER. Sometimes known as Winter Bartlett. Is a sure cropper, heavy yielder and has 
exceptional shipping qualities. While not of the best quality for out-of-hand eating, it is a 
favorite for canning and preserving. The early bearing, heavy cropping trees make it desirable 
for quantity. 
DUCHESS DWARF. This is the king among the dwarf Pears, and the one that gives the 
most satisfaction to growers everywhere. Does not require much space for planting and bears 
enormous loads of high quality fruit. When fully ripe is a golden yellow, with a dull blush 
on the sunny side. When properly trimmed it docs not grow over five or six feet high, which 
feature makes it valuable for back-yard gardens and city lots. 
Plums 
German Prune. 
grow naturally the trees 
fruit will be smaller. 
In general, Plum 
trees thrive best in a 
sandy or clayey soil, 
that is well drained. 
They are usually plant¬ 
ed abput 18 feet apart 
in permanent orchards, 
or where a wagon 
sprayer is used about 
20 feet. Many varie¬ 
ties of Plums produce 
so abundantly that the 
best results are obtain¬ 
able only by careful 
thinning. If allowed to

PLUM PRICES: 
5-6 ft. trees, 75c each; #7.00 per 10; #60.00 per 100.

ing to a rich, bright chcrry-rcd color, with a dcod-diy white 
bloom, and highly perfumed. Flesh light yellow, exceedingly 
■ uicy and tender, of a sweetness impossible to describe. Stone 
small and parts readily from flesh. For canning it is of great¬ 
est excellence. Its season is very early, ripening in advance of 
other Plums, thus adding to its value. 
BRADSHAW. A very large and fine early Plum; dark violet, 
red juicy and good, frees erect and vigorous; very produe- 
t,ve- valuable for market. The quality is excellent, and it is 
one’of the most popular Plums for canning, while its attractive 
color, good quality and shipping properties make it sought for 
as a market variety. 
BURBANK. A very large and high quality Plum, valued for 
nting and canning. Does not stand shipping as well as some 
of the other sorts. Tree vigorous and hardy, but sprawling in 
growth; needs close pruning. Enormously productive.

esteemed for market and drying or preserving. Fruit is long, 
oval purple with a thick blue bloom. Flesh is firm, sweet and 
pleasant, separating easily from the stone. Tree is moderate in 
size and a great favorite.

i and juicy. About two 
:eks later in season than Lombard. 
^ YELLOW EGG. Golden yellow in color with thick bloom. 
Flesh golden yellow, rather juicy and very highly flavored. Tree 
large, productive. 
Cherries 
Cherries succeed best in sandy or gravelly soil, 
but it must be well drained. The Sweet varieties 
grow more rapidly, and make more pyramidal trees. 
Sour varieties are more dwarf and can be planted 
about 18 feet apart in permanent orchards. Sweet 
Cherries should be planted about 24 feet apart. 
The roots and tops of Cherry trees should be 
severely pruned when planted, to secure best results.
