Statement to the Public: 


In submitting this price list of Nursery Stock to the public, I 
wish to say that the Nursery Business has, been a sideline carried on 
throughout the years in connection with the main business of grow- 
ing fruit. 
The first apple trees were planted in the orchard almost fifty 
years ago. They are doing well and bearing fruit each year. 
The Nursery Stock, like the main orchard, is grown on dry sub- 
soil land without irrigation, and is therefore better adapted to the 
conditions we have in this country, considering that the elevation is 
4,200 feet above sea level. 
Most of the newer varieties of fruit have been tried out, but I 
offer only the ones I think are outstanding, those best and hardy 
enough to withstand our climatic conditions. 
All fruit stock offered for sale is grown on the place, so I know 
it is hardy and true to name.

unless you are situated where you can sell the surplus fruit. Plant 
more of the late fall and winter sarts. Currants and gooseberries are 
the easiest fruits to grow, and should be more generally planted. 
They will be bearing while you are waiting for the apples. 
PLANTING 
Early spring is the time to plant in the dry northwest. Apple 
trees should be planted not less than thirty feet apart each way, so 
as to allow for spread of roots in search of moisture, as the tree 
grows larger without competition with roots of other trees or plants, 
After a tree becomes established, its roots always extend as far in all 
directions as the tree is high, often reaching much farther. As a rule 
it is a good method to plow the orchard site deeply, leaving a dead
