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.

We are selling only apple trees of our own growing and every tree offered 
by us has had Dr. Shawls inspection. 
Extract from U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics November 1938. 
“The number of apple trees of bearing age in the United Statp is ex¬ 
pected to continue to decrease, and the production trend is expected to con- 
Lue downward at a moderate rate for several years. The number of trees 
that are vet to come into bearing is smaller than usual and if plantings and 
replacemLts continue to be as light as they have been during the last 
several years, production 10 to 15 years hence may be materially lower than 
it now is. 
Plantings Light —On January 1, 1935, there were in the United States 
about 100.000,000 apple trees of all ages. This is less than one-half of the 
number reported in 1910, and about 14 per cent less than the number reported 
in 1930. Since 1930, plantings have been light and removals have continued. 
The result has been a further decrease in tree numbers of bearing and non¬ 
bearing age. 
In 1935. only about 17.5 per cent of the trees were not of bearimr age, 
whereas during each of the 3 previous census years about 24 per cent of the 
trees reported were yet to come into bearing. Indications are that the 
proportion of trees yet to reach bearing age is "onsiderably less than it was 
5 years ago, and that this percentage will continue to decrease for several 
years should the low rate of planting of the last several years continue.” 
TRANSPLANTED APPLE TREES 
. .^veral years we have been transplanting 2 or 3 year old apple trees 
and growing them into larger sizes. Large sizes have been bought up closely

much superior to common Delicious.

best red strain of Rome Beauty. An early and annual bearer of late winter 
apples which retain a bright, shiny apjiearance until spring. 
♦Gravenstein. Large, striped, re.I. August and September. 
♦Red Gravenstein (Washington strain). Originated in the state of 
Washington and is said to be the beit red strain of Gravenstein. The fruit 
is similar to Gravenstein but a darker red and very little stripe. 
Kendall. (Description by New York Fruit Testing .Yssociatioii, Geneva 
New York.) 
“It is handsomely colored over the entire surface with dark red covered 
with a rich bloom. It has attracted more attention 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 possess 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 Asso¬ 
ciation at Geneva. The fruit has the same color as Yellow Transparent, 
ripens at the same season, but will average twice as large. 
°t*Macoun. A dark red variety very similar to McIntosh in appearance. 
The flesh is especially snappy and juicy and is one of the finest quality 
varieties grown. Follows after Cortland. 
McIntosh. Known by everyone. Season of picking, last of September. 
$5.00 per 100 extra. 
‘’t♦Melba. One of the newer varieties. Similar to Duchess in season and 
markings, but better quality and larger.

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.

♦Red Astrachan. Best, early red apple. August 1st.

*R. 1. 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.

PEACH TREES 
For several years, peach trees have been planted very lightly in the 
north eastern United States. We are now in a cycle of smaller and less peach 
orchards, therefore better prices. The wise orchardist plants when others 
are waiting. Why delay?
