Apple Trees 
It is an established fact that of all fruits the apple is the most impor¬ 
tant. It has been called rightly the “King of Fruits.” Unlike other 
fruits its period of ripening extends nearly throughout the year, and by 
judicious selection of varieties an almost constant succession may be 
obtained. It is not a luxury, but a staple article of food, and the demand 
for good apples is increasing faster than the supply. Experienced and suc¬ 
cessful farmers and orchardists agree that there is more money in growing 
apples than in any other fruit, and that the orchard is the farm’s greatest 
asset. If there is any kind of trees that we specialize in growing, it is the 
apple. We use the very best quality of imported French Apple Seedlings 
on which to. propagate our apples. We believe this to be of the utmost 
importance in order that the trees may have a good foundation, be free 
from all disease and insure a healthy and permanent growth. We have 
discarded all varieties not profitable to the planter, and recommend the 
following varieties, giving a brief description of each.
