Right now and during the next 15 to 25 years will be the great money-making opportuni¬ 
ty for the grower of Apples. Apple production in the United States is decreasing while at the 
same time the market is increasing. There are only about half as many Apple Trees in the 
United States as there were 25 years ago, with a 46 per cent increase in population. 
Right now there are not enough apple trees being planted to take care of the annual re¬ 
moval — NONE TO TAKE THE PLACE OF THE MILLIONS THAT HAVE DIED IN PREVIOUS 
YEARS! This all adds up to bigger profits for the man who Plants Apple Trees and Other 
Fruit Trees Now! 
The man who plants an orchard NOW, of up-to-date varieties, uses good trees, plants 
them right and cares for them properly, will have an investment that will be one of the best 
that he ever made. 
A survey would show that the Farmer with a moderate size orchord t o supplement his 
other farm crops almost without exception has a larger annual income. R. A. Kinsey of Penn¬ 
sylvania in commenting on his increased income since he planted his orchard said: 
"One Acre of Apple Trees Will Produce As Much Net Profit as 20 Acres of Grain, 
Hay or Potatoes."

Profit Crop from 
9-Year Old Trees 
“Our Golden Delicious Trees began bear¬ 
ing in 1935, when only 4 years old and haven’t 
missed a crop since. 
“In 1936, despite the coldest, most prolonged 
winter on record, in our section, followed by late 
Spring frosts and the hottest summer with the most 
severe drouth in the memory of our oldest inhabitant, 
causing all other farm crops to fail, Golden Delicious 
again came through with a $6400.00 crop which we sold 
right at the orchards.” 
*‘fnT937, 1938 and in 1939 these same Golden 
Delicious trees were loaded with big, smooth, high¬ 
est quality apples, which brought top 
market prices, and the 
fruit buds are already 
set for 1940 crop” re¬ 
ports Rising Springs Or¬ 
chards, Pike County, 
Illinois. 
This photo 
shows one of 
these loaded 
trees in 1937.
