World's Finest Apple Orchards 
Properly cared for apple orchards of the right varieties have been 
consistent money makers. Many of the world’s finest and most pro¬ 
ductive apple orchards are to be found in the Pacific Northwest, which 
today leads in the production of the finest apples grown. 
Twelve Months in the Year 
To most people an apple is an apple. Too few realize that there 
are perhaps a thousand varieties of apples grown in this country 
today. Some are excellent for eating purposes, some excellent 
for cooking, others only of fair quality for either purpose. Apples 
do not all mature at the same lime. Good, fresh apples for both 
eating and cooking can now be had twelve months in the year 
by selecting proper varieties according to their seasons and 
adaptability to different uses. 
SUMMER APPLES 
RED ASTRACHAN. Use: A fine home apple, culinary and des¬ 
sert. Quality: Good. Color: Yellow covered with light and dark red, 
striped appearance. 
Red Astrachan is suitable for culinary use before fully ripe. 
When ripe and mellow it is desirable for dessert. Not well adapted 
for shipping. Being of Russian origin it is very hardy. Thrifty 
grower, reliable cropper. Early bearer, bearing biennially, some¬ 
times annually. Fruit hangs well on trees until ripe. 
YELLOW TRANSPARENT. Use: Dessert and culinary. Quality: 
No apple in its season approaches it. Color: Clear yellow. 
Yellow Transparent is a favorite home and commercial variety 
and the standard summer cooking apple. Fruit is medium to large. 
Flesh white, tender, fine grained and of excellent quality. Excellent 
for cooking even before fully ripe. Crop ripens through a period of 
three to four weeks. Two or more pickings are required to secure 
fruit in prime condition. Extremely hardy, grows over a wide range 
of country. West of the Cascades it thrives and grows to perfection. 
One of the best varieties for Western Washington. 
FALL APPLES 
DUCHESS. Large, streaked, juicy and sweet. 
GRAVENSTEIN. Large, fine quality; one of the best. August. 
RED GRAVENSTEIN. Large, bright red, excellent quality. One 
of the best raw or cooked. It is particularly adapted to districts west 
of the Cascades. In these coastal localities Red Gravenstein develops 
a peculiarly fine quality, crispness, snap and flavor all its own. The 
Coast undoubtedly produces Gravensteins of better quality than 
most any section of the west.

COMBINATION APPLE TREES 
We have a limited number of apple trees with from three to five 
different varieties budded or grafted on as many different branches. 
These ripen from summer to late fall—all dependable, high grade 
varieties. 
Home owners and tree lovers will find these “Combination” trees, 
containing several varieties on one single tree, a never ending source 
of interest and delight. For the home owner one of these trees puts 
a whole “home orchard” on the ground occupied by a single tree. 
Imagine beautiful red, yellow and other brilliant colored apples— 
all on one tree! 
These are large, well branched trees. When planting the only 
pruning you will need to do is to cut back the branches about one- 
half and shorten any roots that are too long. 
Especially desirable for the city dweller who has but a small 
amount of yard space.
