Tour special attention is called to Apricots, not only 
for their most valuable fruit, but particularly for their 
vigrorous 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 Vafmon 
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. 
Similar to Superb, except that I can hardly recom- 
^***^“““ 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. One of the best for canning. 
Moorpark, American Apricot g^eef wuh'^red ‘oJf'sunny ^si^e: 
This is one of the best market varieties; e.xcellent for drying and canning. 
Not hardy north of southern Kansas and Missouri.

about the middle of June. A most profitable market fruit for the South. 
RUSSIAN APRICOT SEEDLINGS 
The Most Valuable Tree for Windbreaks. 
Grows Fast ... Is Hardy . . . Bears Fruit. 
The Russian Apricot Seedling will grow rapidly, the foliage is healthy, and 
the trees will be well branched to make a fine windbreak. If you lay out 
a windhj’eak with one row of Russian Apricot seedlings and one or two rows 
of Hackberry or Chinese Elm you will have about as valuable a planting 
as there is, with the exception of an Evergreen windbreak, which is much 
more expensive and cannot be grown in so short a time. I am pricing 
Apricot Seedlings so low that you can take to this type of windbreak plant¬ 
ing. Plant this year. Take advantage of the price.

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 19. Also for hedges.

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.
