APPLE TREES 
Owing to the past 
dry seasons, under 
stocks for budding 
and grafting all fruit 
trees have been very 
short, thus making 
a very marked short¬ 
age in finished fruit 
trees, and this short¬ 
age will continue for 
several years. 
Apple trees are easy to grow. They thrive in almost every climate and 
soil. The Apple is the King of Fruits. Never were all conditions more favor¬ 
able for the person who would plant an acreage of fruit for market purposes. 
A few acres of fruit with reasonably good care, will bring a larger cash in¬ 
come per acre than anything one can grow.
