2wdwpld APPLE 
One of the Most Outstand¬ 
ing Novelties of the Year! 
Throughout the past year 
the popularity of Quintu¬ 
plet has increased at an 
astonishing pace. This is 
only natural when you stop 
to consider the nature of 
the tree. It adequately ful¬ 
fills the need of the small- 
home owner who has very 
little space to devote to 
fruit trees. It gives a va¬ 
riety of apples which prac¬ 
tically cover the entire sea¬ 
son from early summer to 
late autumn. 
The tree itself is a good, 
sturdy 9/16 in. Apple tree to 
which has been grafted five 
branches of different varie¬ 
ties. These 5 varieties are: 
Yellow Delicious, Double Red 
Delicious, Yellow Transpar¬ 
ent, Rome Beauty and Stay- 
man's Winesap. All good standard kinds which are healthy, vig¬ 
orous and productive. 
It is not our policy to make any extravagant claims as to the 
merit of this item, but can truthfully state that the stock we have 
of these trees is healthy and fully up to our grade; as good as can 
be purchased elsewhere at any price. We are listing Quintuplet 
this year, for the first time, to satisfy the requests of hundreds of 
our customers who are anxious to grow this novelty themselves 
and haveja chance to see it fruit. 
Price:^2-yr., 9/16 in. sturdy trees, $1.00 each, 5 or more at 90c 
each. Net, no discount allowed. 
New 3-N-l peach 
f Three Varieties 
on One Tree 
This tree, like Quintuplet, is an out¬ 
standing novelty which we are offering 
I for the first time. The practice of bud¬ 
ding more than one kind of peach on a 
single tree is not new; propagators have 
been doing it for years, but up to this 
time it has never been done on a large 
scale. We have never listed this type of 
item before, but feeling sure that many 
of our customers will want them, we 
have procured a supply of the best com¬ 
bination we know of. Our 3-N-l Peach 
is composed of three of the best com¬ 
mercial varieties grown — Hale-Haven, 
Elberta, and J. H. Hale; early, medium 
and late, respectively—giving you a 
supply of fruit throughout the entire 
season. 
PRICE: 
7/16 to 9/16 in. trees, 
70c each; 3 lor $1.95. 
Net, no discount allowed. 
WHITTEN’S PEAT MOSS 
Add Humus to Your Lawn and Garden 
Peat moss has proven itself invaluable as a humus-adding 
material for both the lawn and garden, and its usage is 
becoming more popular each year. Since imported peat 
moss has become increasingly difficult to secure, the price 
has risen to an almost prohibitive figure. Domestic peat 
moss makes an admirable substitute, and we are offering a 
fine grade material that has been giving very satisfactory 
results. 
It is composed of partially decayed moss and aquatic 
plants. It is odorless, clean and easy to handle, and free 
from weed seeds. 
Peat moss puts the soil in better condition for plant growth. 
It has been found by actual test to produce better rooted 
plants, and has caused marked increase in the growth of 
young trees and shubs. It is ideal for Rose culture. 
Peat moss has the ability to loosen hard ground and make 
it more friable; enables light, sandy soil to hold moisture 
better. It is like a sponge, actually taking up a large amount 
of water, and retaining it until the plants can make use of it. 
Especially good when used as a mulch, either to hold mois¬ 
ture in the summer, or as a protection from winter injury. 
Makes an excellent lawn mulch. 
When planting shrubs, trees and roses this spring, fill in 
liberally around the roots with peat moss, and you'll be de¬ 
lighted with the luxuriant growth secured.

We will ship by freight collect unless otherwise instructed.
