VITALITY NECESSARY 
Vitality is very necessary in order for 
trees to respond to fruiting. By close ob¬ 
servation and years of experimenting with 
“Fertile Powers of Pollen” imported from 
Canada and Northern Michigan, I have pro¬ 
duced peach trees of condensed wood pores. 
By so doing, I have increased vitality which 
in turn produces hardier trees, of which 
many are practically frost resistant. 
NEW HARDY CREATIONS 
(CROSS POLLINATION INCREASES VITALITY) 
Careful and intelligent selecting of POLLEN from 
Superior Strains of Extra Vitality produces immunity, 
also eliminating inferior trees. 
Breeding New Fruits has wonderfully developed the 
SIZE, COLOR, FLAVOR, SHAPE and HARDINESS of 
tree and bud of many fruits, also, in many cases elimin¬ 
ating peach fuzz and reducing the size of the peach pit. 
J. E. Markham has spent the better part of his life, 
including much money expended, trying to keep pace 
with LUTHER BURBANK, the greatest plant breeder 
in the world.
