Born and raised on a farm 
near Fairbury, Nebraska, 
where my father started 
his nursery, I did not learn 
the nursery work in a col¬ 
lege, I started by pulling 
weeds. I hardly know how 
old I was when I started, 
but I know I worked ever 
since I started. Yes, 45 
years, maybe a little 
longer, that is how long I have worked 
around trees, and I still like it. I will 
describe to you on this and the follow¬ 
ing pages the varieties of fruit I grow. 
I will tell you just what I know about 
them. It will help you to select what does well with you. And 
I am always ready to help you whenever you like to have 
Information regarding planting or care of trees or plants.

The Winter Apples are those that ripen late, and keep well, 
some keep until late spring. The fall apples ripen earlier, and 
keep until December, in the North they ripen pretty late, and 
could be called winter apples. Summer Apples are early, they 
don’t keep long. A few of them should be in every orchard, 
and near cities they pay pretty well, as the early apples 
sell at a good price.

A flrnnea o "Rloplr A good apple for Arkansas, Oklahoma 
-DictUtt. and North to Southern Nebraska. 
Fruit medium to large, orange yellow, nearly covered with dark 
red, sometimes almost black. At picking time the fruit is hard, 
keeps well. I have bought Arkansas Black in stores as late as 
July, and the apples were in fine shape. Ripens middle of 
October. 
I grow the dark red strain. Everybody 
XVC7U. "CRviUUD knows the Delicious; it is a large red 
apple, of excellent quality, the leading and best paid market 
variety. The trees are very hardy, and should be planted every¬ 
where; no orchard is complete without this wonderful apple. 
You can pick the apple when still hard-ripe, it keeps better, 
the color is perfect, red all over, just like shown on the front 
cover of this book. Ripens second week in October. 
TloliPimio This is the first year I am offering 
1C11UW L/CllUUUo this variety. It is a good apple of 
medium size, golden yellow, the flavor is good, resembles the 
pear flavor, sweet. The tree is perfectly hardy here, and prob¬ 
ably anywhere in the Middle West. It bears young; ripens first 
week in October. Add 15c per tree to prices as quoted. 
Fran? My father brought this apple here from Switzerland, 
x ictiiA The trees commence to bear very young, and they 
are perfectly hardy. The fruit is good for home use, medium 
to large size, greenish with red, and keep fine. A wonderful 
apple for the North, ripens end of September. I have only 
4-6 foot trees at 80c each; 3 for $2-25. 
—»Tona+Viari Hardy as far 
w OndbXld/Il north as the 
middle of Nebraska. Every¬ 
body knows the Jonathan, and 
I might as well say everybody 
likes it. The tree bears young. 
I would not know of a better 
apple if Jonathan would be a 
better keeper. Christmas is 
about the limit unless they are 
kept in cold storage. Ripens 
end of September.
