TO OUR CUSTOMERS 
We wish to thank our customers for the business given us during the 
past year. One year ago, we warned of a shortage in trees and to order 
early. It was with regret that we returned money in so many cases where 
items could not be furnished later in the season. 
Once more we offer another word of warning. Probably the fruit tree 
shortage is more acute this year than last so that in all fairness to our 
trade, we urge that orders be placed early and the trees reserved until time 
for shipment. ORDER EARLY. 
STATEMENT OF INSPECTION 
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: 
Amherst, Mass 
October 5, 1935 
This is to state that I have examined all the saleable apple stock now 
growing in the nursery of Wallingford Nursery Company near Wallingford, 
Connecticut and as they now stand in the nursery row all varieties are, 
to the best of my knowledge and belief, true to name. 
J. K. Shaw, 
Research Professor of Pomology 
NON-WARRANTY 
We strive to avoid mistakes, but in the event that any nursery stock sold 
by us should prove untrue to the label under which it is sold, provided notice 
and proper proof are furnished to the seller, the seller shall, at the option of 
the buyer, either refill that portion of the order which was mislabeled, by 
another delivery of stock or refund the purchase price. But in any case the 
seller is not to be held responsible for a sum greater than the original sell¬ 
ing price of such stock. All sales or agreements to sell are made subject to 
shortage of nursery stock from fire, frosts, drought, or other causes beyond 
control of the sellers.

Spring Valley, Nexv York, May p, 1934 
Gentlemen: 
We now have about 1.500 trees bought from you since Spring 1925 in bearing. All true 
to name. So here is one satisfied customer. 
Yours very truly, Beyer Brothers 
STANDARD APPLE TREES 
ORDER EARLY 
Permanent apple trees are usually planted about 40 feet apart. Some 
growers prefer more, some a little less. Some also use fillers, such as peach 
trees, or early bearing varieties of apples making them 20 feet apart or if 
planted only in the center of the 40 foot space the distance will be 28 feet. 
As the trees begin to crowd, taking out one half will leave them 28 feet 
apart and later when the remaining fillers are removed, the distance will 
be 40 feet. Thus an income can be had for many years, when the permanent 
trees will need only a portion of the land. 
For home planters who wish an unusually large tree, we offer seven year 
old, twice transplanted trees in the varieties designated. These two trans¬ 
plantings have made possible a wonderful root system so that the trees 
may be transplanted just as safely as small trees. 
There is now a very acute shortage of fruit trees in the country, probably 
more so than has existed for the past forty years. Our opinion is that 
this shortage will not reach its peak for two years more. If it ever is neces¬ 
sary to order early, it is now. Don’t delay.

’Baldwin. Large red winter appte. Known by all. The heavy mortality 
in older orchards from the severe winter of 1934 most certainly will result in 
decreased production for years. In good Baldwin sections, why not plant 
Baldwin ? 
51 f Cortland. Very similar to McIntosh in flavor. Larger, darker red, 
ripens two weeks later, hangs to tree better, and well worth planting. 
Red Strain Delicious. A so-called "Blood Red” strain of Delicious. 
It colors early and should by all means be planted in preference to common 
Delicious. 
"'fDuchess. Striped red. Early August. Following Red Astrachan. 
Early McIntosh. A cross between McIntosh and Yellow Transparent. 
Originated at Geneva Experiment Station, New York. The fruit is very 
similar to McIntosh in all respects, ripening after Yellow Transparent. Tree 
is a good thrifty grower and heavy producer. 
*|Fall Pippin. Well known Fall variety. 
Gallia Beauty (Red Rome Beauty). Generally considered to be the 
best red strain of Rome Beauty, an eiarly and annual bearer of late winte~ 
apples which retain a bright, shiny appearance until spring. 
*fGravenstein. Large, striped, red. August and September. 
Red Gravenstein. (Washington Strain) Originated in the State of 
Washington—said to be the very best strain of Red Gravenstein, similar 
to Gravenstein, but a much darker red. 
Kendall. (Description by New York Fruit Testing Association, Geneva. 
New York.) 
"It is handsomely colored over the entire surface with dark red 
covered with a rich bloom. It has attracted more attention from fruit growers 
than any other new apple. Its season i's about that of McIntosh, but it keeps 
a little longer. The apples are large, trim in outline, and possess the whitish, 
fine-grained flesh of McIntosh. The flavor is much the same but more 
sprightly than that of McIntosh. The apples hang better than McIntosh but 
not as well as Cortland. Kendall promises to be the “apple of apples” in 
the McIntosh season.” For prices see above. 
Macoun. (Description by New York Fruit Testing Association. 
Geneva, New York.) 
“Just as Early McIntosh advances the season for the McIntosh type 
of apple, Macoun produces a late crop of these red-skinned, white-fleshed, 
richly flavored, aromatic apples. The season of Macoun is from one to two 
months later than that of McIntosh with Cortland midway between. In 
shape, the fruits of Macoun are similar to those of McIntosh; the color is a 
darker red, less striped, and with a heavier bloom ; the flesh is much the same 
in color, texture, flavor and aroma. The trees bear regularly and heavily 
*f McIntosh. Known by everyone. Season of picking, last of September. 
Melba. One of the newer varieties. Similer to Duchess in season and 
markings, but better quality and larger. 
Milton. (Description by New York Fruit Testing Association. Geneva. 
New York.) 
“Milton is a sister of Early McIntosh which ripens its crop a month 
later. Its main value is that it is a McIntosh type which ripens before 
McIntosh. The tree is vigorous but not as large as that of Early McIntosh. 
The fruits are covered with a very pinkish red and heavy bloom. The flesh 
is white, tender, crisp, juicy, and of McIntosh flavor and aroma.” 
*fNorthern Spy. Well known early Winter, red variety. 
Opalescent. Very large, red apple. Fall. 
Red Astrachan. Best, early red apple. August 1st. 
Red Rome Beauty. See Gallia Beauty. 
Red Spy. A sport of Northern Spy. Similar in all respects to Northern 
Spy except in coloring in which it much surpasses its parent, having a solid 
red. 
R. I. Greening. Fine dessert variety. Early Winter. 
Rome Beauty. Late, red Winter apple. Very productive. 
Roxbury Russet. Very late Winter russet apple. 
*fStayman Winesap. Standard Winter apple in New Jersey. A good 
variety for late Winter in some sections of New England. Large, red apple. 
*fWealthy. Fine filler variety. Often bearing fruit in the nursery at two 
years of age. Red. Late August. 
*|Wagner. Great filler variety. Bears young. Red, early Winter. 
^Williams Red. Summer apple. Following Duchess, 
f Yellow Transparent. The first early apple of importance. Fine filler 
variety. 
Hyslop Crab. Very productive. Red. 
PEACH TREES 
Due to exceptionally poor germination of peach seed in the spring of 
1934, which rather peculiarly, was a general condition through out the 
United States, the quantity of peach trees available for the spring of 1936 
is so small that the supply will be far below the demand. The trees are so 
far apart in the rows that they have grown to large sizes, making medium 
and small sizes practically nothing. 
We shall spring dig our peach trees this year, and as far as the trees are 
concerned, expect to have No. 1 quality in all respects. As we are selling 
only peach trees of our own growing, no doubt we shall be unable to supply 
the demand, but if any are disappointed, and can delay until the spring of 
1937, we expect to have an unusually good supply for that season.

TIME OF RIPENING IS FOR CONNECTICUT CONDITIONS 
Greensboro. August 1st. Medium size. White flesh. Very productive. 
Mikado. (June Elberta) August 1st. A very handsome roundish variety. 
Yellow flesh—excellent quality. 
Buttercup. August 3rd. Very similar to Mikado, but slightly larger. 
Marigold. August 8th. Yellow, semi-free, ripening at a time which is 
very desirable, filling a season where there has usually been a slight break. 
Oriole. August 10th. Nearly free, yellow and starts to ripen just ahead 
of Golden Jubilee. 
Carman. August 15th. Medium to large. White. Very hardy variety. 
Cumberland. August 15th. Practically free, white flesh, dark red color¬ 
ing, elongated in shape, good size. Best white of its season. 
Golden Jubilee. The most outstanding introduction of the New Jersey 
Experiment Station. A block laden with rich golden yellow, red blushed fruit 
is a handsome sight. Similar to Elberta in general appearance, but a brighter 
golden yellow, slightly smaller size and much better flavor. 
Eclipse. August 25th. Medium size, yellow freestone, red cheek. 
South Haven. August 25th. A very large yellow freestone of Michigan 
origin. Tree is thrifty and productive. 
Belle of Georgia. September 1st. Probably the best known and most 
popular of white varieties. 
Elberta. September 4th. Known to all. King of Peaches. 
J. H. Hale. September 8th. Its extra large size, rich golden yellow color 
and handsome red cheek, fine flavor, and general attractiveness place it in a 
class by itself. For several years, Hale on our roadside stand have brought 
from 100 to 150% more than our best Elbertas. 
Lizzie. September 20th. Best of its season. Similar to Elberta, being a 
chance seedling of that variety. Not quite as much red, but otherwise similar. 
Peach Special No. 1. For those wishing a yellow freestone peach with 
handsome red coloring and shape of Elberta to follow immediately after 
Golden Jubilee, we offer Special No. 1. The original tree is a seedling stand¬ 
ing in sod uncared for, but its production has been such that we have pro¬ 
pagated from it, planted in our own orchard 0 and have a few for sale. We 
have not attempted to introduce the variety nor to give it a name, so when 
ordering, please specify Peach Special No. 1.
