Dwarf Apple Trees 
The Dwarf Apple trees come into bearing much earlier than the 
Standard trees. Their low, broad heads are within reach so that the 
fruit can be picked easily. These trees take up so little room that they 
can be planted in the garden, or even on the lawn, and with care will 
bear good crops within three or four years. The fruit is of extra high 
quality. Dwarf trees are secured by propagating on French Imported 
Paradise stock. The Dwarf trees seem to put their strength into the 
fruit instead of the wood. We have the following list of best varieties 
of Dwarf Apples to offer: 
Yellow Transparent, McIntosh Red, Red Astrachan, Duchess 
of Oldenburg, Wealthy, Rhode Island Greening, Baldwin and 
Gravenstein.

Crab Apples 
Besides producing much sought after fruit the Crab Apple tree is 
excellent for ornamental purposes. It will grow in any kind of soil and 
will bear every year. The Crab Apple is a prime favorite with the house¬ 
wife for jellies and preserves. Many people prefer it to any other fruit 
for that purpose. We have the following varieties and offer them at the 
same price as the standard apples. 
TRANSCENDENT — Remarkably vig¬ 
orous, growing to a good size, and im¬ 
mensely productive. Bears a little the 
second year from planting and every year 
after, and produces good crops by the 
fourth year. The best of its class for 
cooking and eating; juicy and crisp. 
Skin yellow, striped with red. One of 
tho^ best Crab Apples to plant. Ripens 
in September. 
I1YSLOP — Almost as large as Early 
Strawberry Apple; deep crimson, very 
popular on account of its large size, beauty 
and hardiness. Keeps well into the 
Winter. 
Price, same as Standard Apple 
Trees.

Gentlemen: 
A few words is sufficient in saying that the shipment of nursery stock sent out 
by your firm last spring proved to be all that one should desire. 
We do not ask for trees making more than two or three feet of growth during their 
first year as yours have done and furthermore, we are thankful that we are not obliged 
Io order from far away firms to get quality goods. 
Our orders arc yours. 
Very truly, 
CHARTER BROS.
