QUINTUPLET 
APPLE TREE 
An amazing new development 
lets you grow 5 different 
varieties on one tree 
Think of it—you can pick 5 different kinds 
of Apples from the same tree—luscious Red 
or Yellow Delicious Apples on this branch, 
tangy red Jonathan on that branch, juicy 
Wealthy over here and tasty Yellow Trans¬ 
parent over there. A complete orchard of 
Summer, Fall and Winter Apples on one 
Tree. 
There is no guess-work about it for the 
idea has been carefully tested and we can 
guarantee the results. In addition to the 
Quintuplet Apple Trees we can supply Trip¬ 
lets and Quadruplets (3 or 4 varieties) on 
the same tree. You may prefer the Triplets 
because you will have a larger crop of 
each kind.
