A T3T3T T7Q the all-purpose fruit 
^ l^liO a H the year round 
The most important fruit especially in the Middle and Northern states. Apples are usually 
planted 25x25 feet. Or if planted 30x30 feet apart it is well to plant other fruit trees for fillers. 
Good trees for this purpose are Dwarf Pears, Cherries and Peaches. The “fillers” planted 
between the apples will bring an early income from the orchard, and later when the apple 
trees require all the room, the fillers can be removed. This will make you a good income until 
the apples come into full bearing age, by that time the fillers are just about passed their 
usefulness. 
I am offering you the best varieties in cultivation, and am describing them so tha,t you can 
select the varieties best suited for your locality. I have grown most of these varieties myself, 
and am giving you descriptions as near right as possible. 
Winter Apples a Ri n pe d n keep 
well, most of them keep until 
Spring. An Apple Orchard, espe¬ 
cially for home use, should consist 
mostly of Winter Apples. 
Arkansas Black Lend C °this 
apple for Arkansas, Oklahoma and 
North to the Southern part of Ne¬ 
braska. Fruit medium to large, 
covered with dark red, sometimes 
almost black. The flesh is almost 
orange-yellow. Keeps extra well; 
when picked hard-ripe this apple 
will keep as long as the following 
July. Of Arkansas Black I can 
furnish the 2-4 ft. sizes only. 
Ripens middle of October. 
Winter Banana f c ro ^i* h f 
igan, a hardy tree. Most produc¬ 
tive, and bears quite young. Rich 
in flavor, spicy and aromatic; flesh 
yellow, firm and juicy. Color a 
golden yellow; very attractive, and 
a good keeper. The vigorous, 
healthy growth of this tree, and its 
extra large leaves would entitle it 
to a place as shade tree or on the 
lawn. A splendid apple for the 
Middle West, but not north of 
Nebraska. Ripens first of October. 
Ben Davi<? Fot ; pies ’ bakin s 
• Ly LlVlo and cooking this 
old-timer of an apple is still one 
of the best. It keeps well. Ripens 
middle of October. Very hardy. 
Black Ben Davis te'th? 
same as the old-fashioned Ben 
Davis, also in hardiness, produc¬ 
tiveness, and in its excellent keep¬ 
ing quality; however. Black Ben 
Davis colors up much better. Pre¬ 
ferred by the market grower. 
Ripens middle of October. 
Yellow Delicious a P pie! n 0 f 
medium size, golden yellow, ’the 
flavor is good, resembles that of 
pears, sweet. Perfectly hardy here, 
and most anywhere in the Middle 
West. It bears young. Ripens 
first week in October. Add 15c per 
tree to prices as quoted. 
Red Delicious ?f 0 e n “ u £™- t 
cover page. This is exactly the 
shape and color, except that the 
apple will run even larger in size. 
Delicious is the most popular and 
best paid table variety on the mar¬ 
ket, and when you grow my special 
dark red strain you have one of the 
most profitable varieties that can 
be had. You can pick this apple 
when still hard-ripe, because it will 
have its full color, and will keep 
for a long period. Ripens second 
week in October. 
Golden Winesap f w a a f 
ther’s favorite for a baking and 
cooking apple. For that purpose 
Golden Winesap’s qualities are un¬ 
surpassed. The tree bears young, 
fruit very large, golden yellow with 
a red cheek. Keeps extra well, and 
is perfectly hardy everywhere. 
Ripens first of October.

~ Ingram 
Medium size, yellow, 
covered with red. Very 
similar to the old Janet or Geneton 
but better in quality. Keeps well 
in ordinary cellars until spring. 
Very hardy. Ripens middle of 
October. 
DELICIOUS APPLE ORCHARD 
8 years old and in lull bloom. 
Grown from Sonderegger's stock. 
* Grimes Golden 
Almost sweet, contains practically no acid. People 
who cannot eat apples on account of the acid they 
contain can eat Grimes Golden without any bad effect. 
Combines the rich aromatic flavor with an attractive 
golden-yellow color, and a long season of usefulness 
Grimes Golden was first propagated in 1804, and its 
fine qualities have kept it on the top of the list. In 
fruit markets, large or small, you find Grimes Golden 
—at top prices. The tree is healthy, good grower, 
bears well, needs considerable pruning as it is inclined 
to grow bushy. Do not plant it north of the middle 
of Nebraska. Ripens latter part of September. 
—Ton rrtVi an Back home on the 
jvuuiuuu farm when we were 
kids—and there were ten of us— 
my mother fixed us our little 
Christmas trees with Jonathan 
apples and a few Grimes Golden. 
It looked just as good to us as a 
modern Christmas tree looks today. 
I will never forget it nor the Jon¬ 
athans that were hanging on it. 
They were good inside and out. 
And as a nurseryman I will tell you 
Jonathan is of medium size, highly 
colored red, of excellent flavor, and 
keeps well until about January. 
The tree is perfectly hardy up to 
the middle of Nebraska. Ripens 
end of September. 
Trina David Blooms very late 
xvmy uavia in the spr i ng . 
Very productive, and considered 
one of the best for shipping. Me¬ 
dium size and colored even better 
than Jonathan. Quality may not 
be quite as good, but King David 
keeps better. Does well in Nebras¬ 
ka and Kansas. Of King David I 
can supply the 2 to 4 ft. trees only. 
Ripens end of September. 
Lady Jonathan ^ 
Originated in Central Nebraska, 
and is a little hardier than the 
Jonathan. Although the qualities 
of the old-fashioned Jonathan 
could not be improved, in this new 
Jonathan you find a better keeper, 
and in this respect is far superior 
to the old Jonathan. The apple 
will average a little larger in size 
than the old Jonathan. Ripens first 
of October. 
McIntosh Red "f 
of which it is a spo-rt. Originated 
in Canada. Many of my customers 
in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and 
New Mexico have planted this tree 
on the recommendation of my 
father years ago, and found the 
tree to be thoroughly hardy and 
bearing well. Apple large, red all 
over, flesh white, tender, sub-acid 
and mild. Ripens middle of Oc¬ 
tober. 
— Mammoth Black Twig 
(Paragon) 
From Russia. One of the very best 
for the Middle West. Tree bears 
well, and is perfectly hardy up to 
South Dakota. Fruit large, dark 
red, firm, sub-acid and juicy, and 
keeps as well as any apple in a 
common cellar. More of these trees 
should be planted. I know you will 
find Black Twig entirely satisfac¬ 
tory. Ripens middle of October. 
= PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS - 
When you receive a bale or package of trees or shrubs from me, open it as soon as possible. Check over the items. In case of 
any defect notify me at once, a card will do. Remember I guarantee safe delivery of the stock I ship out, and your notice of any 
defect will receive my prompt attention. If an express or freight shipment is not in good shape, have the agent give you a bad- 
order report. This will help me in recovering the loss, if the shipment has been damaged while in transit. Sometimes an item 
is booked for later delivery, in that case there is a notice to that effect in the bale.
