Wealthy 
Plant Apples 35 feet apart each way. 
Early maturing varieties, Yellow 
Transparent, Duchess, Grimes Golden 
and Wealthy make good fillers. Peach 
trees also are often used for this pur¬ 
pose. In planting Apples 35 feet each 
way you set 35 trees to the acre and 
from 80 to 90 fillers. 
ALL-RED DELICIOUS. The King of 
all Apples, and rightly named De¬ 
licious. This picture shows you the 
large size and wonderful coloring of 
the All-Red Delicious, but you have 
to taste its crisp, juice-laden flesh 
in order to appreciate the alluring 
aroma that it carries. Superior to 
the old-fashioned Delicious because 
it colors early a beautiful solid deep 
blood red. You can pick All-Red 
while the Apple is still hard, crisp 
and full of juice and they will keep 
until late spring, never getting mealy 
when picked early. 
WEALTHY. Ripens between Duchess 
and Jonathan. Extremely hardy. 
The fruit is striped bright red, of 
wonderful quality, and is very pop¬ 
ular. A good home orchard variety. 
JONATHAN. Good for the Farm Belt, 
Michigan, Pacific Coast, and in the 
Apple districts of New York. A won¬ 
derful orchard tree because it bears 
young and early, is of the highest 
quality, deep red, and a wonderful 
eating apple. 
GRIMES GOLDEN. The yellow winter 
Apple A fine yellow, juicy Grimes 
Golden makes the finest baked Apple, 
the finest .Apple pie, and the finest 
sauce. They have a very fragrant, 
spicy aroma and are crisp, tender 
and rich in juice, flavored different 
than any other Apple. 
YELLOW TRANSPARENT. The fin¬ 
est July Apple. Yellow in color, 
juicy, sweet and tender. It's hard 
to beat Yellow Transparent for eat¬ 
ing and cooking. Exceptionally 
hardy, bears young, and is loaded 
with Apples every year. 
WHITNEY. Our finest Crab Apple. 
Splendid for jelly, preserves, and 
pickles. Flesh sort of yellow, crisp, 
juicy, and nearly swe.et. Ripens in 
late August or early September.
