Spy Rooted Trees 
These trees are grown on Northern spy 
roots which makes them resistant against 
root rot, aphis and crown gall. If you 
have lost trees from root rot, use our spy 
rooted trees for replants. Their resist- 
rot will insure you of much 
trees. Experiments show it 
replant trees that have died 
with standard rooted trees. 
For a number of years there has been a 
demand for apple trees propagated on 
stocks resistant to root rbt and other 
fungus diseases. We, as well as a num¬ 
ber of the experiment stations, have been 
experimenting with stocks carrying these 
qualities and we have found that the 
Northern Spy stock had such qualities we 
are now propagating them, using a proc¬ 
ess which makes it practical to grow and 
handle them. Unfortunately only the most 
progressive fruit growers know about spy 
rooted trees. Spy rooted trees have now 
been sufficiently tested to make sure of 
their value and the necessity of using them 
especially as replants.

Double Worked Grimes 
Increase the life of your Grimes by 
planting double worked trees. 
For a number of years we have known 
the weakness of this valuable variety and 
its susceptibility to collor-rot, which at¬ 
tacks the trees near the ground, causing it 
to die when it is at its most productive 
age. For several years we have been pro-, 
pagating our Grimes on Hardy Northern 
Spy stock grown from grafts planted deep 
enough to force out roots on the Spy 
stock, making them resistant to collor- 
rot disease, and thereby prolonging the life 
of the tree. This disease renders the com¬ 
monly propagated Grimes almost useless to 
plant. Grimes is one of the most profitable 
fall and early winter sorts, and has been 
one of the best money makers for the 
growers of this section and 
west. You can now plant

Double Worked trees. After 
perimentation we believe our method to be 
the most practical, scientific and reliable 
of any of the known methods of double 
working trees.
