KelLf^ TRUE-TO-NAME APPLE TREES 
\Mion you l)uy our Apple Trees you are buying trees that have been grown under 
most exacting conditions. Starting with a whole root seedling (grown from imported 
French seed) our trees are propagated the best and most expensive way—by the 
budding method. Each year we go direct to commercial bearing orchards and cut 
bud wood from those trees that show the best desired color and bearing qualities. 
^^’e believe this to be of utmost importance in order that the trees may have a good 
foundation, be free from all disease, and insure a healthy permanent growth. 
^^dlether you have room for only a few trees in your yard or contemplate planting 
an orchard, 3'ou should plant Kelly’s Apple Trees. We have discarded all varieties 
not profitable to the planter, and list below the following recommended varieties 
that cover a long ripening season.
