-Northwestern 
Greening 
EXTREMELY HARDY and vigorous 
grower. Fruit large, greenish, yellow 
when ripe. Good quality and a long 
keeper. This is one of the very best 
apples for baking. Restaurants pay 
premium prices for this apple. Espe¬ 
cially recommended for the Northern 
states, and of course it does just fine 
anywhere in the Middle West also. 
Ripens middle of October.

One of the best of the Sweet Apples.

-Switzerland 
I recommend this 
apple to my cus¬ 
tomers in the South, although it is 
hardy as far north as Nebraska. Apple 
greenish with red stripes, of fine flavor 
and very good keeping qualities. Tree 
is rather dwarf in shape, with very 
large dark green leaves. Have only 
the 2 to 4 ft. size at 50c each; 3 for 
$1.35; postpaid. 
_*Turley Winesap £ r n 0 V™ d 
Winesap that bears even heavier than 
the Winesap, and the color is a darker 
red. In quality it is also improved, the 
flavor being extra good. The apple 
keeps well until mid-winter. It is 
considerably larger than the common 
Winesap which for market is usually 
a little too small. Add 10c per tree to 
prices as quoted. 
— Old-fashioned Winesap 
A fine tree for your home orchard. 
The apples are a little too small for 
the market; however, their quality is 
very good, and the apple keeps well. 
It is a dark red apple. The tree bears 
very heavy, and is perfectly hardy for 
the Middle West. Ripens middle of 
I October. 
'—York Imperial 
|J cent years this tree was planted in in¬ 
creasing number and rightly so, owing 
to the fine qualities of this apple. It 
is a large, red apple, tender and juicy. 
Perfectly hardy in the Middle West, 
also Southern Minnesota, and Wiscon¬ 
sin. You will find that a combination 
planting of York Imperial and Stay- 
man’s Winesap is very good for extra 
heavy bearing. Ripens first week in 
October. 
Other Varieties 
In the following varieties: 
Franz, Missouri Pippin, F^ed June and 
-Spitzenberg I have only a small supply.

of these kinds, kindly send me your 
order early. The trees I have of these 
kinds are of the 3 to 5 ft. sizes. 
they ripen between the early apples and the 
Tc* e tu a Ju e * ;les ’ ^ ee P fair >y good. In the extreme 
North they are considered Winter Apples. There 
the ripening time is about two weeks later than 
given with the descriptions, and of course the 
' vm ter apples would hardly get ripe in 
the North.

---= PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS = = 
(continued from page 4) 
Put the roots of your trees and shrubs into a tub or tank of cold water over night. This freshens them up and puts them* in 
best shape for planting. In order to protect the roots of the trees from wind and sun, the experienced planters mix dirt and water 
to a thin paste, in which the roots of the trees or shrubs are dipped so as to cover them entirely. This is done just as the roots 
are taken out of the water. With the protective cover of mud all over the roots the trees can be taken out to plant, without 
danger of getting the roots hurt while they are exposed to the open air or sun. (continued on next page)
