THE BEST OBTAINABLE—YOU CAN’T BUY BETTER TREES ELSE¬ 
WHERE AT ANY PRICE. Other nurseries charge anywhere from $1.00 to $2.00 
each for trees no older, larger or better. Whitten-Ackerman Super-Size Fruit Trees 
are the pick of the crop—they caliper no less than 11/16 inch, and many consider¬ 
ably over an inch. They run from 5 to 7 feet in height, and often higher, depend¬ 
ing entirely on the kind and variety, as some kinds are much larger growers than 
others. 
Two years old—the same as our smaller grades—but these trees were the strongest 
growers in the nursery rows, with the most pep and vitality. They’ll forge right 
ahead and continue the same sturdy growth when planted in your own garden or 
orchard.

High Quality Fruit Trees 
The selection of fruit trees for planting is a matter de¬ 
serving great care and consideration. 
Be sure to determine the caliper, 
grade and height before ordering from 
any nursery. 
Unless one is experienced in orchard 
planting, the matter of price is often 
the greatest factor considered in de¬ 
termining the source of supply. Before 
buying, learn definitely just what sort 
of trees are being offered. Don’t be 
influenced by height alone. While this 
is a desirable feature, a vigorous root 
system, well developed branches and a 
well calipered trunk are equally essen¬ 
tial. 
Notice How We Grade Our 
Stock 
We offer 4 to 4Y 2 and 4^ to 5^ ft. 
heights. Some nurseries offer a 4 to 6 
ft. grade, or “specially selected,” 
using small calipered 4 to 5 ft. trees, 
which are about the same as our 
smallest and cheapest trees. Don’t 
be fooled into paying a big price 
for a small tree. 
All of our stock is plainly graded and 
we furnish trees of larger caliper and 
greater height than those offered else¬ 
where at or near our prices. When we 
tell you that only our smallest, grade 
can be sent by mail, the greater size and 
added value of our stock can be better 
appreciated. The height of our bigger 
grades is too large to meet parcel post 
requirements, necessitating express de¬ 
livery only. 
OUR TREES Are Today 
Growing in All Sections 
of the Country 
Our reputation for supplying quality 
stock at economical prices is established, 
and our policy of a square deal for every 
purchaser has been proven to the satis¬ 
faction of thousands of Whitten-Acker- 
man customers. Your next order en¬ 
trusted to us will prove it to you as well. 
nil Selected Specimens 
Budded from Bearing Trees 
Whitten-Ackerman fruit trees are budded from 
bearing trees and grown where the snow flies, to 
make them more hardy and superior in quality. 
At the left we show you a bundle of our apple 
trees. Note the heavy root system, straight and 
smooth trunk and well branched top. Plant trees 
such as these and at the end of five years you will 
have a bearing orchard of fine trees like the one 
illustrated above. This is a five-year-old Whitten- 
Ackerman Cortland Apple tree, planted on ordinary 
good soil. Note the bumper crop. 
In the past, there has been an oversupply of fruit 
trees. Now, because of curtailed plantings through¬ 
out the United States and the extreme drought, 
there is a great shortage of these trees. Supplies will 
be exhausted long before the end of the season.
