This photo by courtesy of Mr. C. E. 
Fry of New Virginia, Iowa, in the 
heart of the corn belt gives a glimpse 
into a nice orchard planted with Son- 
deregger trees. 
Old-Fashioned Winesap 
A good tree for home orchard. Apples lit¬ 
tle too small for market; quality is good, 
keeps well. Dark red. Tree bears heavy, 
perfectly hardy in the Middle West. Rip¬ 
ens middle of October. 
Ynrlr Tmr»<arinl (Johnson’s Fine 
IOrK imperial Winter Y. I.) This 
old-fashioned apple is rapidly coming 
back to popularity. It is a large red 
apple, tender and juicy. Perfectly hardy 
in the Middle West, also Southern Minne¬ 
sota and Wisconsin. I recommend a com¬ 
bination planting of York Imperial and 
Stayman's Winesap for extra heavy bear¬ 
ing. Ripens first week in October. 
Stayman's Winesap ^.frket 
apple, very large, striped dark red, keeps 
well, and is in strong demand for cook¬ 
ing. Ripens in October. 
Turley Winesap heavier s t hT" 
the old fashioned Winesap, darker color, 
improved quality, highly flavored; keeps 
well until mid-winter; is considerably 
larger than Winesap. Price is 10c per tree 
in addition to the price of other apples as 
quoted. 
FALL APPLES 
Ripening between early apples and late 
(winter) apples, they keep fairly good,, 
and in the extreme North where late ap¬ 
ples would not mature, these fall apples 
are considered winter apples and In such 
localities will make very good keepers. 
They furnish fruit after the early apples 
are used up, and before the late varieties 
commence to ripen. 
Ar»r»lrr» A nice a PP^ e °f fairly good 
nilUKU size, yellow with red stripes. 
Ripens end of August, and makes a nice 
apple for the North. Not a new apple. 
For a good many years I have grown this 
sort for special orders, and recently, due 
to increased demand, I have grown more 
of them- Add 10c per tree to the prices 
quoted for apples. EARLY APPLES 
Early apples are hardy anywhere, and 
they bear extra well. Due to the fact 
that they cannot be kept very long after 
ripening, they should be planted in small 
numbers only, unless there is a large 
city nearby where early apples would find 
a good and profitable sale.

in size, greenish yellow with red stripes. 
Bears heavily. It is a little sour, and on 
that account an excellent apple for cook¬ 
ing The tree is a wonderful grower, 
making a large crown, with a heavy 
foliage If vou would need a combination 
fruit and shade tree this apple would do 
well, and for that purpose I recommend 
the 4 to 6 ft. size for planting. 
l An old fashioned early ap- 
nea June p i e . Have small supply of 
trees on hand; order early and reserve 
your Red June apples. Ripens with Yel¬

with red stripe. 
Yellow Transparent fewTays 
after Early Harvest. It is of pale yellow 
color and 'larger than the Early Harvest 
Wonlthv This apple does well most 
VV fcJU.li.Iiy anywhere, can safely be 
planted in the North also. It is a great 
bearer, in fact few varieties are so hardy 
and so productive. A good apple for eat¬ 
ing, cooking, drying or pies; large, mostly 
covered \tdth red, fine grained and juicy. 
Without this good apple your orchard is 
not complete. I recommend it, knowing 
how pleased you will be with your 
Wealthy apple. Ripens in September. 
Maiden Blush 
A standard market 
apple, good in size 
and quality. Its nice appearance helps to 
sell it. Fipens in September.

===== PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Peaches and Plums between your Apples 
Sometimes an item is short in the shipment, and a back order has been made, in 
that case there will be a notice in the bale. Right after unpacking put the roots of) 
your trees and shrubs into a tub or tank of cold water over night. This freshens the 
roots up, and protects them from wind and sun. While trees are taken out to plant 
the roots should be protected at all times either by wrapping them in wet burlap, or 
still better by dipping the roots into a paste of soil and water. This keeps the wind 
and sun from the roots, until they are in the ground and planted.

Wealthy 
The Dark 
Red Jelly 
Crab. The 
high quality 
of this beau¬ 
tiful red crab apple, the abundance in 
which they are produced, and the hardi¬ 
ness of the tree will satisfy you in every 
respect. For the finest jelly use Dolgo 
Crab apples. The tree bears young, and 
grows well. If you plant the 4 to 6 ft. 
trees you can grow Dolgo into a very 
pretty shade and ornamental tree on the 
lawn or wherever you like to have a tree 
of good appearance. Dolgo is hardy 
everywhere, and will supply you with its 
wonderful fruit for many years. 
WVlltn^V THE SWEET CRAB. The 
TTmuicj aople is of good size; I 
would say on the average as large as the 
old fashioned Winesaps. It is green with 
red stripes, good for raw eating and for 
cooking. In the North this is considered 
a very good summer apple. For years my 
brother Fred has a Whitney Crab on Wis 
lawn where it takes the place of a very 
good shade tree, and bears well most 
every year. Whitney, Dolgo Crab, 
Duchess Apple, the Superb Apricot all 
make very good shade trees, and it seems 
to me that at this time when so many 
old shade trees must be replanted it 
would be well to include a few of these 
trees for shade as well as fruit for plant¬ 
ing around the home. Especially on the 
farm such trees would be of great value, 
and if you select the large size, 4 to 6 ft. 
trees, you will have no difficulty growing 
them to nice shade tree shape.
