Your special attention is called to Apricots, not only 
for their most valuable fruit, but particularly for their 
vigorous growth, beautiful foliage, drought resistance, 
which combined would make the Apricot a most de¬ 
sirable shade and ornamental tree. For this purpose 
Increased numbers of Superb Apricots are being plant- 
ed, and I urge you to give Superb Apricot your consideration if you need 
a number of shade trees around your home. Include at least one or two of 
these fine trees in your shade tree planting.

Superb, the greatest of all hardy Apricots fight ‘’ifmon 
color large flavor excellent. The fruit of this tree is as good as the best. 
The tree: a most abundant bearer, perfectly hardy except in the extreme 
North It is a rapid grower that develops a pretty spreading crown with a 
beautiful healthy foliage; on this account it is being planted in larger num¬ 
bers than ever before as a shade tree. In some localities (Western Kansas 
and elsewhere) it is one of the very few trees that survived the drought. 
I am pricing the trees low, so that all my customers can take advantage 
of this wonderful tree. 
_ K **■*£+.Similar to Superb, except that I can hardly recom- 
Uftinese ApriCOl mend it for planting north of Nebraska. The fruit 
is pale yellow with a red cheek. I recommend it for shade and fruit same 
as Superb.

Not hardy north of southern Kansas and Missouri.

Wilson, American ApriCOl cept that it ripens a little earlier, 
about the middle of June. A most profitable market fruit for the South. 
RUSSIAN APRICOT SEEDLINGS 
These trees are not budded, the fruit varies from the fine large size of 
Superb, to a rather small grade, but even the smallest will be of fair enough 
quality to use for canning. These Seedling Apricots are generally used for 
shade trees and in windbreak plantings. They grow most rapidly, being 
exceptionally hardy and drought resistant. There are few other trees that 
could be expected to give such good results. I have nice trees on hand, 
and I am pricing them very low. Plant some Apricot Seedlings this spring, 
or if you wish to invest a little more, plant a few Superb Apricots also, 
for shade trees or shelter-belt. These trees will soon be everybody’s pets 
on your place. “You cannot help but like them.”

Makes a large, spreading crown, fruit produced in enormous quantities, 
the berries range in color from black to white, and from sweet to quite 
tart. In many homes the berries are canned with Rhubarb or Gooseberries. 
Song-birds regard a Mulberry tree as a complete boarding house. No farm 
should be without Russian Mulberries. For post growing use the seedlings 
listed on page 21. Also for hedges.

Darcimmnn (Diospyros VIrginiana). Can be 
reibinilllOU grown as far north as the south¬ 
ern half of Nebraska. Fruit medium size and must 
be fully ripe before it is good to use. A nice look¬ 
ing tree, often used for ornamental purposes, with 
very valuable wood. Persimmons will do well even 
on poor soil. Nice seedlings, 12 to 18 inches, 15c 
each; 3 for 25c; 10 for 75c; postpaid. 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Fill in loose soil all around the roots. The best soil you can possibly get for this purpose is soil from the surface that has been 
worked, and does not contain fresh fertilizer. Fill in until the hole is within a few inches from being level full. Then water. 
Apply several bucketfuls. This not only gives the tree the necessary moisture to start, it also settles the soil and packs it firmly 
around the roots much better than could be done by tramping. When the water is all soaked away, and the soil settled, about 
an hour after watering, fill the holes level full with medium dry soil, and bank it up a few inches around the body of the tree. 
This soil takes the place of any mulch.
