They Are Delicious and Healthful 
Apples are the most delicious fruit of all. We have sweet varie¬ 
ties and tart varieties, all of them simply loaded with good health. 
The apple keeps us immune from constipation, old age and disease; 
it is rich in Vitamins “A” and “B” and excellent as food for chil¬ 
dren and adults. 
Just think—all of these benefits from simply planting Apple 
trees and growing your own fruit. They live a lifetime! 
My trees have heavy-roots on them, are selected from the earli¬ 
est bearing, heaviest yielding fruiting trees. Every one true to 
name, too. 
My own Planting Book tells you how to plant and grow fruit 
trees successfully. Free with every nursery order! 
We postpay to your door everything in the nursery line, except 
large size fruit trees and shade trees, and I will prepay charges on 
them if your total nursery order is $ 10.00 or over. Balled Ever¬ 
greens are F. O. B. Shenandoah.

Plant Apples 35 feet apart each way. Early 
maturing varieties, Yellow Transparent, 
Duchess, Grimes Golden and Wealthy make 
good fillers. Peach trees also are often used 
for this purpose. In planting Apples 35 feet 
each way you set 35 trees to the acre and 
from 80 to 90 fillers. 
YELLOW DELICIOUS 
Finest Flavored of All Apples 
MAIN CROP APPLES 
Winter or main crop Apples keep longer than other kinds and offer a wide range of 
good fruiting varieties. These varieties are good most any place in the United States. 
Most of them should be in every family Apple orchard. 
BENT DAVIS. Bears young. Fruit large sized, red striped. Good keeper. January to 
April. A great pollinizer for other varieties. 
DELICIOUS. This is the original Delicious Apple, one of our leading varieties in the 
Farm Belt. Sweet, crisp, juicy, and the finest flavored of all. A few years ago at 
the Minneapolis Fruit Show, Delicious grown in Minnesota were the outstanding 
apples on display. You can see it’s extremely hardy. 
Here is the genuine Yellow Delicious 
Apple for you—the Apple that has the 
most wonderful flavor of all. Yellow De¬ 
licious comes into bearing early. Many 
reports of their bearing heavily on 5 and 
6 year old trees. 
The flavor of the Yellow Delicious Is a 
cross between that spicy tang of the 
Grimes Golden and the supreme sweetness 
of the Delicious. 
Many of my customers have been wait¬ 
ing for this announcement so they can get 
genuine Yellow Delicious apples at a rea¬ 
sonable price. The large perfect yellow 
apple. You may order them at the same 
price as other Apples. 
ALL-RED DELICIOUS. The King of all Ap¬ 
ples, and rightly named Delicious. You 
have to taste its crisp, juice-laden flesh in 
order to appreciate the alluring aroma that 
it carries. Superior to the old-fashioned 
Delicious because it colors early a beauti¬ 
ful solid deep blood red. You can pick All- 
Red while the Apple is still hard, crisp and 
full of juice and they will keep until late 
spring, never getting mealy when picked 
early. 
CRIMES GOLDEN. The yellow winter Ap¬ 
ple. A fine yellow, juicy Grimes Golden 
makes the finest baked Apple, the finest Ap¬ 
ple pie, and the finest sauce. They have a 
very fragrant, spicy aroma and are crisp, 
tender and rich in juice, flavored different 
than any other Apple. 
JONATHAN. Good for the Farm Belt, Mich¬ 
igan, Pacific Coast, and in the Apple dis¬ 
tricts of New York. A wonderful orchard 
tree because it bears young and early, is of 
the highest quality, deep red, and a won¬ 
derful eating apple. 
WHITNEY. Our finest Crab Apple. Splendid 
for jelly, preserves, and pickles. Flesh sort 
of yellow, crisp, juicy, and nearly sweet. 
Ripens in late August or early September. 
WEALTHY. Ripens between Duchess and 
Jonathan. Extremely hardy. The fruit is 
striped bright red, of wonderful quality, 
and is very popular. A good home orchard 
variety. 
YELLOW TRANSPARENT. The finest July 
Apple. Yellow in. color, juicy, sweet and 
tender. It’s hard to beat Yellow Trans¬ 
parent for eating and cooking. Exception¬ 
ally hardy, beats young, and is loaded with 
Apples every year. 
JANET. (Improved Jeniton.) This is the Apple which our grandfathers used to grow, 
except we have the improved variety, which is much larger than the small Jeniton. 
Will keep until the first of May. Especially fine for cider and eating. 
NORTHWESTERN GREENING. Long keeper, keeping until April. Very hardy. Ap¬ 
ples extremely large. Pale greenish yellow. Excellent flavor. 
RED WINESAP. Smaller and juicier than Stayman’s Winesap, and a favorite every¬ 
where. A good keeper; dark red and juicy. 
STAYMAN’S RED WINESAP. An improved variety of the old Winesap and much 
larger. Excellent for market, cider, eating and cooking. 
TOLMAN SWEET. The most valuable sweet Apple for baking, and other cooking pur¬ 
poses. Unexcelled for spicing. Beautiful yellow, slightly tinged with red. Will 
keep until April. 
YORK IMPERIAL. A good home orchard tree. Eating quality about the same as 
Jonathan. Apple red, medium size, tender and juicy. 
SUMMER APPLES—Early Season Varieties 
DUCHESS. No Apple is finer flavored than a juicy, red striped Duchess. Good eating 
and cooking Apple. Bears large crops even in the extreme Northern Apple sections. 
Very hardy. Fruits in August. 
EARLY HARVEST. Pale yellow; season July. Very fine for eating and cooking. One 
of the very best Apples for home use. Always bears a crop. 
RED JUNE. The early sweet Red June is my favorite because It’s the first Apple in 
the summer. 
FALL OR AUTUMN APPLES 
PAMEUSE or SNOW. Everyone likes the crisp, snow-white flesh of the Snow Apple. 
Has a wonderful flavor. Ripens November and keeps to January.
