APPLES, THE KING OF FRUITS 
The apple is universally recognized as the most desirable fruit of the United 
States, because of its great varieties of delicious flavors, nutritious qualities and 
nutrative value. Whether as commercial crop or for the satisfaction of the family, 
a well selected orchard of a few varieties is a most desirable investment that any 
land owner can place on his premises. 
We recommend the planting of a few thrifty trees from one to three years 
old and from four to five feet high as such are more safely handled than older and 
larger trees.
