WOOLLY APHIS PROOF APPLES 
'I'lie great enemy of the apple tree is the Woolly 
Aphis, which attacks the entire tree, but does Its 
greatest injury to the roots. Through much experi¬ 
menting it has been determined that the Northern 
Spy roots are entirely immune. It is a difficult and 
tedious process to get these roots, but we have been 
growing them for twenty-five years and have 
worked up our stock to such a point that we are 
able to offer a good assortment of varieties grafted 
on these resistant roots. This of course will not 
prevent the aphis from attacking the tops if they 
are plentiful where the trees are planted, but there 
| hey are readily controlled, while it is practically 
impossible to check their ravages when they attack 
the root system of trees on the ordinary seedling 
roots. 
last of varieties grafted on the aphis-proof roots 
is given each year in our annual price list.
