GREEN’S QUALITY TREES, ROCHESTER, N. Y. 
Jonathan Apples (Reduced Size) 
THE APPLE IS “KING OF FRUITS” 
Wherever it may be successfully grown, no other fruit 
succeeds over so wide a range of territory and under such 
diversified climatic conditions, and no other fruit brings so 
sure a return to the grower in proportion to time and money 
expended upon its production.

FANCY APPLES 
I am told by a Rochester, N. Y., apple grower 
that §12 per barrel was offered last fall for 
fancy Baldwin apples. A commission house 
man in New York City has told me that he 
could sell fancy Spy apples at almost any price 
to the rich men of New York City. Fancy 
apples must be perfect in every respect, similar 
to those sent heie from the Pacific coast. 
Grow Your Own Fruit in Your Own Garden 
Select an elevated site for any kind of orchard in preference 
to low ground, unless the low ground is 
located near a large body of water, which pro¬ 
tects it from frost. In planting an apple or 
other orchard the best method is to mark out 
the land with an ordinary com marker, 
the same as for planting com; then locate 
the trees in every fifth row, if that is the 
distance you desire. In this way your trees 
will form rows from every point of view, 
without any trouble in sighting or sticldng 
stakes. 
With proper selection of varieties, location of soil, and 
subsequent intelligent management, there can be but little 
risk in planting the' apple, which is now no longer a luxury 
but a staple article of food. The apple has few rivals among 
cultivated fruits. Its mild and pleasant acid is a panacea for 
many of the ills that the human race is heir to. What fruit 
can be more pleasant to the palate or more beautiful to the 
eye than the rich ripe apple when plucked fresh from the 
tree, or what more luscious and healthful when cooked? Who 
does not remember with extreme delight the delicious baked 
apples served with sugar and cream or the apple dumpling 
or apple pie “that mother used to make.” 
iSIorfhorn Snv (Winter.) This variety ranks next to 
. .. ' Ill: Baldwin and R. I. Greening in impor¬ 
tance. It is a fine apple for culinary use and its exceptionally 
fine flavor makes it invaluable as a dessert apple. Fruit very 
large, rather firm, tender, crisp, very juicy, subacid. 
Skin pale yellow, nearly concealed with bright pinkish red 
and mottled with carmine. Tree large, vigorous and hardy. 
Season, November to April. “Perfect Spies sell at §8.CO and 
up per barrel.” C. A. Green. 
Tar North and South and East and 
West, 
The pride of every zone, 
The fairest, rarest and the best 
May all be made your own.
