Brown’s Finest Apple Trees 
For highly profitable orchards—the hack lot planting. Splendid 
for country roads and lawn. Provide delicious fruits for every 
season. 
Every Home Property Should Contain 
Some Apple Trees 
Even on the back lot, where some little shade is needed in 
the first place, by carefully selected varieties you can easily 
grow Apples to last the year through—enough for all your 
family needs, some for the neighbors and friends but over and 
above this you will in all probability have a nice quantity to 
market. With the great demand there always is and always will 
be for Apples your investment will bring you fine profits. As to 
large and small orchards, and the profits they yield, for fear 
you don't know it, where it has been thoroughly tried out, the 
Apple, if given the same care and attention as other farm crops, 
brings far greater returns per acre. Is it not worth while?
