FRUIT TREES 
For nearly a half-century we have supplied fruit growers with fine fruit trees and plants. Hundreds of 
commercial orchards and small fruit plantings in Maryland and the surrounding states are live and profit¬ 
making testimonials that our fruit trees and plants are most reliable and satisfactory. Thousands of our 
trees have found their way into many western and Middle Atlantic states. 
Many people with limited garden space find it interesting and worthwhile to plant a few Fruit Trees 
for shade purposes as well as for fruit. All Fruit Trees are highly ornamental when in bloom. 
After many years of careful study and discrimination, we have chosen the following varieties for 
hardiness, quality, deliciousness of fruit and prolific bearing. Send us your list of varieties, sizes and 
quantities wanted for our special letter quotations. 
Delicious Apple. 
Apples 
The Apple is the first in importance of all fruits. It will 
thrive on nearly any well-drained soil. Its period of ripen¬ 
ing, unlike other fruits, extends nearly through the whole 
year. By making careful selection, a constant succession 
can be obtained. 
Plant apple trees about 30 x 30 feet. Use peach as filler or 
compact growing apples such as Wealthy, Yellow Transparent. 
If planted 30 x 30 feet, with rows running north and south, 
the trees will protect each other in the row and the strip of 
land between the rows makes room for planting potatoes, 
beans, strawberries or something of that sort, and the cultiva¬ 
tion which the crop receives is very beneficial to the orchard 
Currants, gooseberries, raspberries, or rhubarb can be planted 
between the trees in the row and are benefited by the partial 
shade. When planting apple trees, cut off about two-thirds 
of the previous year’s growth to balance the loss of roots.
