Greening’s Bud Selection Prevents the Growth of 
Two Kinds of Fruit on the Same Tree! 
In books like this, performance records of thousands of 
trees are kept in the Greening “Million Dollar Library" 
It is d record of things forever beyond retrieval. That is why no 
one can duplicate its decisive and unimpeachable data. 
Th e care taken in guarding these ledgers and preserving their 
priceless and irreplaceable data, is typical of the exacting 
methods pursued in all Greening activities. They are kept locked 
in a fire-proof and burglar-proof safe—removable only on special 
requisition. General field work is carried on with duplicate 
copies that the originals may never be lost or destroyed. 
On the pages of these books are detailed records of the 
performance of thousands of trees—the dates they were planted, 
when they began to bear, how much, what kind of fruit they 
bore each year—the quality, color, size, shape and every other 
characteristic having to do with profitable yield. 
ficially, or made it a mere advertising claim, can succeed or make 
its customers successful in the long run. Genuine Bud Selection 
is an advantage no nurseryman can offer you unless he has de¬ 
voted an equally long period of time and study; applied the 
same high skill and horticultural knowledge and exercised the 
same keenness of observation that have been .invested by Green¬ 
ing. 
With the infallible and incontestable facts which the Greening 
Nursery has in the extensive library covering many years past, 
the Greenings are in a position to give fruit growers the full 
benefit of this vast knowledge. They are making the science of 
Bud Selection highly profitable to orchardists. 
BUD SELECTION GIVES THE FRUIT GROWER 
BIG PROFIT ADVANTAGES 
Bigger crops come from Greening trees because these trees 
have been selected for their superior ability to produce fruit of 
fine quality, abundant yield, splendid, stabilized color and con¬ 
sistent characteristics, year after year 
One other advantageous result of Bud Selection is the early 
bearing ability of Greening trees. Bud Selection is responsible 
for that. Time is money to the orchardist. Along with this, is the 
fact that Greening trees ripen more uniformly than ordinary trees. 
To bring about profuse yields of fine, profitable fruit. Greening 
Bud Selection succeeds in eliminating the undesirable character¬ 
istics and multiplying the good ones.

Without these permanent records. Bud Selection would be a

The "chimera" is a faulty development that Greening trees get 
rid of. A chimera apple is one that may be small in one part— 
large in another. Or it may be of fine solid color in one part 
and striped, or mixed in another. Such apples are less salable— 
less profitable.
