HITTEN’S 

-ORTH-WHILE 
The selection of fruit trees for planting is a matter deserving great 
care and consideration. Be sure to determine the caliper, grade and 
height before ordering from any nursery. 
DON’T BE INFLUENCED BY PRICE ALONE. Unless one is experi- 
enced in orchard planting, the matter of price is often the greatest 
factor considered in determining the source of supply. Before buying, 
learn definitely just what sort of trees are being offered. 
A VIGOROUS ROOT SYSTEM IS ESSENTIAL... While height is a 
desirable feature, a vigorous root system, well 
developed branches, and a well calipered trunk 
are of even greater importance. 
Note How Our Trees Are Graded. We offer 4 
to 44% and 4¥% to 5 ft. heights; also our choice 
Super-Size Grade, ranging from 5 to 6 ft. in height, 
depending upon the variety, as some kinds grow 
taller than others. It has been common practice for 
some concerns to offer a “specially selected,”’ 4 to 
6 ft. grade, using small calipered 4 to 5 ft. trees. 
Don't be misled into paying a high price for a 
small tree. 
All of our stock is plainly graded. We furnish 
trees of larger caliper and greater height than 
those offered elsewhere at or near our prices. 
Check other catalog grades and prices and you will find 
we are right. 
9/16 Inch Caliper Apple Trees are the Standard Com- 
mercial Planting Size. We Have Them. A 9/16 inch tree, 
or medium grade, has long been considered standard for 
ideal planting results. Some concerns don’t offer this 
grade at all. Why not? We don't know; but we can tell 
you that no 9/16 inch trees ever go into our Super-Size 
Grade. To meet our requirements, Super-Size trees must 
caliper at least 11/16 inch, and lots of them, especially 
in apple, will caliper well over an inch. 
WHITTEN’S SELECTED 
SUPER-SIZE FRUIT TREES 
The best obtainable—you can’t buy better trees elsewhere at any 
price. Many nurseries charge anywhere from $1.00 to $2.00 each for 
trees no older, larger or better. Super-Size Trees are the pick of the 
crop—they caliper no less than 11/16 inch, and many considerably 
over an inch. They run from 5 to 6 feet in height, and often higher, 
depending on the variety, as some kinds are much larger growers 
than others. Super-Size Trees are only two years old—the same as our - 
smaller grades—but these trees were the strongest growers in the nurs- 
ery rows, with the most pep and vitality. They'll forge right ahead and 
continue the same sturdy growth when planted in your own garden or 
orchard. For commercial plantings we recommend the use of our 9/16 
inch grade of trees; but for smaller plantings, 
where large size and quick fruiting results mean 
more than curtailing planting costs, we always 
recommend Super-Size.
