STATEMENT OF INSPECTION 
Amherst, Mass., 
August 12, 1936. 
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: 
This is to state that I have examined for trueness to name all the 
saleable apple stock of Wallingford Nurseries now growing near Walling¬ 
ford, Connecticut, and as they now stand in the nursery row all varieties 
are, to the best of my knowledge and belief, true to name. 
J. K. Shaw, 
Research Professor of Pomology.

proper proof are furnished to the seller, the seller shall, at the option of the buyer, 
either refill that portion of the order which was mislabeled, hy another delivery 
of stock or refund the purchase price. But in any case the seller is not to he held 
responsible for a sum greater than the original selling price of such stock. All 
sales or agreements to sell are made subject to shortage of nursery stock from 
fire, frosts, drought, or other causes beyond control of the sellers. 
APPLICATION OF PRICES

SIZE OF TREES 
Caliper or diameter governs the size of all fruit trees except 1-year apple. 
Height is only approximate. 
STANDARD APPLE TREES 
ORDER EARLY 
Permanent apple trees are usually planted about 40 feet apart. Some growers 
prefer more, some a little less. Some also use fillers, such as peach trees, or 
early bearing varieties of apples, making them 20 feet apart, or if planted only in 
the center of the 40-foot space the distance will be 28 feet. As the trees begin 
to crowd, taking out one-half will leave them 28 feet apart and later when the 
remaining fillers are removed, the distance will he 40 feet. Thus an income can 
be had for many years, when the permanent trees will need only a portion of the 
land. 
For home planters who wish an unusually large tree, we offer seven-year-old, 
twice-transplanted trees in the varieties designated. These two transplantings have 
made possible a wonderful root system so that the trees may he transplanted just 
as safely as small trees. 
We are selling only apple trees of our own growing and every tree 
offered by us has had Dr. Shaw's inspection. 
The demand and shortage during the past three years have caused the continual 
selling of one-year trees, thus making a shortage of two-year stock and in many 
varieties we are very low in two-year. Our customers may specify when shipment 
is wished in the spring, but we do urge that orders be placed early and the trees 
reserved.

“Baldwin. Large red winter apple, j Known by all. The heavy mortality in 
older orchards from the severe winterl of 1934 most certainly will result in

decreased production for years. In good Baldwin sections, why not plant Baldwin ? 
Cortland. Very similar to Mclntojh in flavor. Larger, darker red, ripens 
two weeks later, hangs to tree better and 
°Red Strain Delicious. A bright 
much superior to common Delicious. 
*Duchess. Striped red. Early August. 
well worth planting, 
red strain, colors early and considered 
Following Red Astrachan. 
0 Early McIntosh. A cross between McIntosh and Yellow Transparent. 
Fruit is very similar to McIntosh in apjfearance, ripening about two weeks after 
Transparent. 
Fall Pippin. Well known fall variety. 
Gallia Beauty (Red Rome Beauty). Generally considered to he the best 
red strain of Rome Beauty. An early and annual hearer of late winter apples 
which retain a bright, shiny appearance until spring. 
“Gravenstein. Large, striped, red. August and September. 
°Red Gravenstein (Washington strain). Originated in the state of Wash¬ 
ington and is said to be the best red strain of Gravenstein. The fruit is similar 
to Gravenstein but a darker red and very little stripe. 
Kendall. (Description by New Yr— *— T esting Association, Geneva. 
New York.) 
“It is handsomely colored over the entire surface with dark red covered with 
a rich bloom. It has attracted more attention from fruit growers than any other 
new apple. Its season is about that of Macintosh, but it keeps a little longer. The 
apples are large, trim in outline, and possess the whitish, fine-grained flesh of 
McIntosh. The apples hang better than McIntosh hut not as well as Cortland. 
Kendall promises to he the ‘apple of apples' in the McIntosh season.” 
Lodi. This is an introduction of the New Y'ork Fruit Testing Association 
at Geneva. The fruit has the same color as Transparent, ripens at the same 
season, hut will average over twice as large. We have only a very limited supply 
of one year trees which we offer at 25^ each extra. 
(Description by New York Fruit Testing Association, Geneva, 
‘Macoun. 
New York.) 
“Just as Early McIntosh advances the season for the McIntosh type of 
apple, Macoun produces a late crop of these red-skinned, white-fleshed, richly 
flavored, aromatic apples. The season of Macoun is from one to two months later 
than that of McIntosh with Cortland midway between. In shape, the fruits of 
Macoun are similar to those of McIntosh; the color is a darker red, less striped, 
and with a heavier bloom; the flesh is much the same in color, texture, flavor and 
aroma. The trees hear regularly and heavily.” 
f*McIntosh. Known hy everyone. Season of picking, last of September. 
0 Melba. One of the newer varieties. Similar to Duchess in season and 
markings, hut better quality and larger. 
(Description hy New York Fruit Testing Association, Geneva. 
Milton. 
New York.) 
“Milton is a sister of Early McIntosh which ripens its crop a month later. 
Its main value is that it is a McIntosh type which ripens before McIntosh. The 
tree is vigorous but not as large as that of Early McIntosh. The fruits are covered 
with a very pinkish red and heavy bloom. The flesh is white, tender, crisp, juicy 
and of McIntosh flavor and aroma.” 
' Northern Spy. Well known early winter, red variety. 
Opalescent. Very large, red apple. Fall. 
Pound Sweet. The old fashioned, large, green, sweet apple. 
Red Astrachan. Best, early red apple. August 1st. 
Red Rome Beauty. See Gallia Beauty. 
Red Spy. A sport of Northern Spy. Similar in all respects to Northern 
Spy except in coloring in which it much surpasses its parent, having a solid red. 
' R. I. Greening. Fine dessert variety. Early winter. 
“Rome Beauty. Late, red winter apple. Very productive. 
Roxbury Russet. Very late winter russet apple. 
‘Stayman Winesap. Standard winter apple in New Jersey. A good variety 
for late winter in some sections of New England. Large, red apple. 
^Wealthy. Fine filler variety. Often hearing fruit in the nursery at two years 
of age. Red. Late August. 
“Wagner. Great filler variety. Bears young. Red, early winter. 
Williams Red. Summer apple. Following Duchess. 
tYellow Transparent. The first early apple of importance. Fine filler 
variety. 
“Hyslop Crab. Very productive. Red. 
PEACH TREES 
Peach tree planting and peach production seem to run in definite cycles which 
have a direct bearing on the price the fruit brings. Since 1925 the planting of 
peach trees has been very light and from 1925 to 1932 production heavy and prices 
low. Now, however, with older orchards gradually going out, production has been 
lower and prices better, and we are definitely on the up grade in price for a series 
of years. The far-sighted orchardist will not delay in immediate planting of 
peaches that he may get them into full production during this up-grade swing in 
the price of fruit. 
Our peach trees will be spring dug and for spring of 1937 we have a very 
excellent lot of trees and prices have been reduced nearly 33 1/3%. Due to seed 
failure, our supply of trees for 1938 will he very short. ~ *

TIME OF RIPENING IS FOR CONNECTICUT CONDITIONS 
Greensboro. August 1st. Medium size. White flesh. Very productive. 
Mikado. (June Elberta) August 1st. A very handsome roundish variety. 
Yellow flesh—excellent quality. 
Buttercup. August 3rd. Very similar to Mikado, but slightly larger. 
Marigold. August 8th. Yellow, semi-free, ripening at a time which is very 
desirable, filling a season where there has usually been a slight break. 
Oriole. August 10th. Nearly free, yellow and starts to ripen just ahead of 
Golden Jubilee. 
Carman. August 15th. Medium to large. White. Very hardy variety. 
Cumberland. August 15th. Practically free, white flesh, dark red coloring, 
elongated in shape, good size. Best white of its season. 
Golden Jubilee. The most outstanding introduction of the New Jersey 
Experiment Station. A block laden with rich golden yellow, red blushed fruit is 
a handsome sight. Similar to Elberta in general appearance, but a brighter golden 
yellow, slightly smaller size and much better flavor. 
Eclipse. August 25th. Medium size, yellow freestone, red cheek. 
South Haven. August 25th. A very large yellow freestone of Michigan 
origin. Tree is thrifty and productive. 
Probably the best known and most 
Belle of Georgia. September 1st. 
popular of white varieties. 
Early Elberta. Ripens just ahead, of regular Elberta. Lighter yellow and 
brighter red, otherwise similar to Elberta. 
Elberta. September 4th. Known to all. King of Peaches. 
J. H. Hale. September 8th. The tree is not a very strong grower, but the 
fruit of well grown J. H. Hale are immense, handsome and of excellent flavor. 
Lizzie. September 20th. Best of its season. Similar to Elberta, being a 
chance seedling of that variety. Not quite as much red, but otherwise similar. 
Peach Special No. 1. This variety originated as a chance seedling. The 
original tree is now gone, hut in our search for a yellow freestone variety to follow 
Golden Jubilee, we decided that this variety had the qualities we were looking for. 
We have planted it in our own orchards, which came into bearing last year. It 
has all the appearances of Elberta in shape and color and of most excellent flavor." 
We have made no attempt to introduce this variety or to name it, hut we have 
grown trees primarily for our own orchard planting and have a few to offer our 
customers.
