THE SEASONS OVERLAP 
W HILE we were still shipping Apple and Pear Seedlings of last year’s 
growing, our drills were busy planting our new crop. This drill is 
planting four rows at a time, twenty-four inches apart, it covers fifteen 
acres a day. We have two of these drills running, in order to get the 
seed into the ground early. This gives a long growing season and allows 
stocks to mature thoroughly. Apple seed seems to require a certain length of 
time to grow and if planted early, matures early-planted late, matures late. 
When maturing late stocks are often dug before being properly ripened. This 
drill is planting eighteen good seeds to the foot of row. One bushel and one 
peck to the acre. 
Land we are planting, shown in cut, is ideal seedling soil-perfectly level- 
never planted to seedlings or trees before and we confidently expect it will 
produce those high quality stocks that we take pride in furnishing our custo¬ 
mers every year.
