JONATHAN (Young-Bearing Strain) —One of the most popular 
American apples. However, the Stark Young-Bearing Strain 
adds much to the value of the variety. The parent tree stands 
in a Missouri orchard, where we discovered it bearing heavily 
when three years old. This young-bearing habit is perpetuated 
in.its propagation. An Illinois orchardist said: “I thought 
that was all talk about your Young Bearing Jonathan bearing 
younger than others, but those T bought from you did bear a 
lot younger than any other Jonathan.” 
Jonathan is an apple of good size, bright red, with a spicy 
rich ucidity that has made it a, prime favorite with all apple 
lovers, and the trees have wide adaptability. Jonathan is a good 
orchard tree, rather spreading in growth, hardy, long lived— 
and by using our new strain, it bears young. This makes the 
variety far more desirable and profitable. Hlowever Jonared with 
its additional early color is superior. 
This mother Jonathan tree} matured 20 apples when 3 years 
old, 90 apples when 4+ years old, and has borne splendid crops, 
This Jonathan is a good orchard tree, rather spreading in 
growth, extremely Jong lived—practically canker immune. Its 
hizh quality fruit very popular on the market and = prices’ it 
brings make if one of the most profitable,

We realize that the roots are the feeders — 
of the trees—that the success of a tree 
depends largely on the root system of the 
tree you plant, If these roots are strong 
und broad-spreading, they will reach out 
vigorously and feed on the soil—producing — 
big, husky, fast-growing, young-bearing 
trees. . 
The vital part of the tree is not the 
top, but the roots. For that reason we 
do not sell trees that are grown by graft- 
ing on pieces of roots. ITTeavy root sys- 
tems come from wWwhole-root propagation
