Plant ONLY High Quality Sorts 
It takes no more space to grow a tree which bears high qual¬ 
ity fruit which will bring you good prices for any which you 
have to sell than it does to grow an inferior variety. 
In these Special Bargain Orchards offered in this book we 
have included the leading varieties of Apples, Peaches, Pears, 
Plums, Grapes, etc. In the event, however, that none of these 
Bargain Collections fills your needs, write to us and we will be 
glad to work with you in planning a planting which will bring 
you both pleasure and profit. 
Order Your Trees Early 
After you have decided what varieties you are going to plant, 
get your orders in early. 
You can plant trees in the Fall or in the Spring to suit your 
own personal convenience — unless you live in the far North, in 
which event Spring planting is recommended. Whether you de¬ 
cide to plant in the Fall or in the Spring be sure to get your 
order in early so that your trees may be reserved. We will ship 
the trees to you at the proper time for planting in your section. 
Filler System 
If the Planting Plans illustrated on Pages 7 to 10 do not hi 
your needs you may want to use the plan known as the Filler 
System illustrated below — especially if your space is limited, 
as it will give you double production for 15 to 25 years. 
After 12 to 15 years the Filler (Peach) trees may be removed 
and then at the end of 20 to 25 years remove the Semi-Perma¬ 
nent (Cherry and Plum) trees, leaving your Permanent (Apple 
and Pear). 
The “Permanent and filler" method of planting trees. Dots indicate 
locations of permanent trees (apple and long lived fruits). Circles in¬ 
dicate semi-permanent trees (cherry, young bearing varieties of apple, 
pear, etc.). X’s indicate fillers (peaches and other shorter lived fruits). 
Diagram at left; the original planting arrangement. Center diagram; 
after filler trees have been removed, usually done when the orchard is 
from 15 to 18 years old. Diagram at extreme right; after both semi¬ 
permanent and filler trees have been removed. This is not necessary 
for many years. In the meantime, the filler and semi-permanent trees 
have produced many profitable crops and paid for the orchard.
