Gentlemen:

Yours very truly, John A. Davis Sr Sons.

Dear Sirs: 
The trees I ordered for last spring are doing well. Did not lose one. 
Sincerely yours, Anthony Rodi. 
SIZE OF TREES 
Caliper or diameter governs the size of all fruit trees except 1-year apple. 
Height is only approximate. 
STANDARD APPLE TREES 
ORDER EARLY 
Permanent apple trees are usually planted about 40 feet apart. Some growers 
prefer more, some a little less. Some also use fillers, such as peach trees, or 
early bearing varieties of apples, making them 20 feet apart, or if planted only in 
the center of the 40-foot space the distance will be 28 feet. As the trees begin 
to crowd, taking out one-half will leave them 28 feet apart and later when the 
remaining fillers are removed, the distance will be 40 feet. Thus an income can 
be had for many years, when the permanent trees will need only a portion of the 
land.

years old in. and up Baldwin Trees. 
We are selling only apple trees of our own growing and every tree 
offered by us has had Dr. Shaw s inspection. 
There is an extreme shortage of many kinds of fruit trees this year and 
those desiring to plant should place their orders as early as possible and have 
the trees reserved. Time when shipment is wished may be specified but the 
early placing of orders is particularly important. 
We have a limited quantity of 4-year old transplanted apple trees of 
1-inch diameter and approximately 7-8 feet in height, in certain varieties 
Since the quantity is quite limited and such unsold varieties may be available 
this week and sold next, we are not listing them. Anyone interested in this 
size should correspond for latest balance list. Price is $1.50 each.

Baldwin. Large red winter apple. Known by all. The heavy mortality in 
older orchards from the severe winter of 1934 most certainly will result in 
decreased production for years. In good Baldwin sections, why not plant Baldwin ? 
Cortland. Very similar to McIntosh in flavor. Larger, darker red, ripens 
two weeks later, hangs to tree better and well worth planting. 
Red Strain Delicious. A bright red strain, colors early and considered 
much superior to common Delicious. 
Duchess. Striped red. Early August. Following Red Astrachan. 
Early McIntosh. A cross between McIntosh and Yellow Transparent. 
Fruit is very similar to McIntosh in appearance, ripening about two weeks after 
Yellow Transparent. 
Fall Pippin. Well known fall variety. 
Gallia Beauty (Red Rome Beauty). Generally considered to be the best 
red strain of Rome Beauty. An early and annual bearer of late winter apples 
which retain a bright, shiny appearance until spring. 
Gravenstein. Large, striped, red. August and September. 
Red Gravenstein (Washington strain). Originated in the state of Wash¬ 
ington and is said to be the best red strain of Gravenstein. The fruit is similar 
to Gravenstein but a darker red and very little stripe. 
Kendall. (Description by New Yo-k Fruit Testing Association, Geneva, 
New York.) * 
“It is handsomely colored over the eiftire surface with dark red covered with 
a rich bloom. It has attracted more attertion from fruit growers than any other 
new apple. Its season is about that of McIntosh, but it keeps a little longer. The 
apples are large, trim in outline, and pdssess the whitish, fine-grained flesh of 
McIntosh. The apples hang better than McIntosh but not as well as Cortland. 
Kendall promises to be the ‘apple of apples’ in the McIntosh season.” 
Lodi. This is an introduction of the New York Fruit Testing Association 
at Geneva. The fruit has the same coloj- as Yellow Transparent, ripens at the 
same season, but will average over twice as large. 
Macoun. (Description by New York Fruit Testing Association, Geneva, 
New York.) 
“Just as Early McIntosh advances the season for the McIntosh type of 
apple, Macoun produces a late crop of these red-skinned, white-fleshed, richly 
flavored, aromatic apples. The season of Macoun is from one to two months later 
than that of McIntosh with Cortland midway between. In shape, the fruits of 
Macoun are similar to those of McIntosh; the color is a darker red, less striped, 
and with a heavier bloom; the flesh is much the same in color, texture, flavor and 
aroma. The trees bear regularly and heavily.” 
McIntosh. Known by everyone. Season of picking, last of September. 
Melba. One of the newer varieties. Similar to Duchess in season and 
markings, but better quality and larger. 
Milton. Of McIntosh type, ripening two to three weeks before McIntosh. 
The fruits are covered with a pinkish red and is a most attractive variety. 
Flesh is white, tender, crisp, juicy and of McIntosh flavor and aroma. 
Northern Spy. Well known early winter, red variety. 
Opalescent. Very large, red apple. Fall. 
Red Astrachan. Best, early red apple. August 1st. 
Red Rome Beauty. See Gallia Beauty. 
Red Spy. A sport of Northern Spy. Similar in all respects to Northern 
Spy except in coloring in which it much surpasses its parent, having a solid red. 
R. I. Greening. Fine dessert variety. Early winter. 
Roxbury Russet. Very late winter russet apple. 
Stayman Winesap. Standard winter apple in New Jersey. A good variety 
for late winter in some sections of New England. Large, red apple. 
Wagner. Great filler variety. Bears young. Red, early winter. 
Wealthy. Fine filler variety. Often bearing fruit in the nursery at two 
years of age. Red. Late August. 
Yellow Delicious. We have a very limited quantity of this handsome, 
fine flavored yellow winter variety. Priced at single rates only. 
Hyslop Crab. Very productive. Red. 
PEACH TREES 
For several years, planting of peach trees in Northeastern United States 
has been much below normal which of course means that production for the 
next few years must be comparatively low and therefore prices better. The 
far sighted orchardist will not wait for over production which will eventually 
follow years of shortage. Our supply of peach trees is less than usual this 
year. Warning, order early.

TIME OF RIPENING IS FOR CONNECTICUT CONDITIONS 
Greensboro. August 1st. Medium size. White flesh. Very productive. 
(June Elberta) August 1st. A very handsome roundish variety. 
Mikado. 
Yellow flesh—excellent quality. 
Buttercup. August 3rd. Very similar to Mikado, but slightly larger. 
Marigold. August 8th. Yellow, semi-free, ripening at a time which is very 
desirable, filling a season where there has' usually been a slight break. 
Oriole. August 10th. Nearly free, yellow and starts to ripen just ahead of 
Golden Jubilee. 
Carman. August 15th. Medium to large. White. Very hardy variety. 
Cumberland. August 15th. Practically free, white flesh, dark red coloring, 
elongated in shape, good size. Best white of its season. 
Golden Jubilee. One of the outstanding introductions of the New Jersey 
Experiment Station. A block laden with rich golden yellow, red blushed fruit is 
a handsome sight. Similar to Elberta in general appearance, but a brighter golden 
yellow, slightly smaller size and much better flavor. 
Eclipse. August 25th. Medium size, yellow freestone, red cheek. 
South Haven. August 25th. A very large yellow freestone of Michigan 
origin. Tree is thrifty and productive. 
Belle of Georgia. September 1st. Probably the best known and most 
popular of white varieties. 
Early Elberta. Ripens just ahead of regular Elberta. Lighter yellow and 
brighter red, otherwise similar to Elberta. 0 J 
Elberta. September 4th. Known to all. Ring of Peaches. 
J. H. Hale. September 8th. The tree is not a very strong grower, but the 
fruit of well grown J. H. Hale are immense, handsome and of excellent flavor. 
Lizzie. September 20th. Best of its season. Similar to Elberta, being a 
chance seedling of that variety. Not quite as much red, but otherwise similar. 
Peach Special No. 1. This variety originated as a chance seedling. The 
original tree is now gone, but in our search for a yellow freestone variety to 
follow Golden Jubilee, we have found this variety to have the qualities we 
have been looking for. It has the shape of Elberta, but a deeper red blush 
which spreads into the beautiful yellow on the shady side. In 1937, this 
variety went through a tough rainy spell, free from brown rot, although no 
fungicidal precautions had been taken. We are very much pleased with its 
behavior in our orchards.
