THIS TREE DIGGER GETS ALL THE ROOTS! 
Some of the best rooted trees in all the world 
are grown right here at Shenandoah. The soil is 
the Marshall silt loam or loess. Even with this 
soil we must use this big extra deep tree digger in 
order to get all of the roots and send them out to 
you right along with the trees. The heavy “U” 
shaped blade often goes two feet or more in depth 
with the 16 head of mules pulling. That is why 
. all of the roots are on your trees when you get 
them from us and why they grow so vigorously. 
This is a close-up view of the 
blade on this big tree plow.

This picture was taken in the Morton Orchards in 
Nebraska City. This tree is only 8 years old. Grove 
Porter, who is holding this big limb loaded with Jona¬ 
thans, says it will produce 10 bushels of apples this year. 
They are big fellows, too! 
The Morton Orchards have 350 acres in apple trees and 
most of their young bearing trees have been secured, of 
course, from us. You will get this same vigor and sure 
fruiting in your trees if you order from Earl May.
