e FRUIT TREES 
We will handle a few varieties of the hardier fruit trees this 
year. The government is urging everyone to plant a few. They are 
valuable for their beauty as well as their healthful fruit. 
APPLES—Yellow Transparent, Jonathon, Delicious, Wealthy, 
McIntosh Early. 11-16 in. $1.00 
Quintuplet apples, 5 in 1. $2.00 
CHERRIES—Montmorency, English Morello. 11-16 in. $1.25 
PLUMS—Waneta, Kahinta, Underwood, Stanley, 11-16 in. $1.00 
Oka, Good quality and bears early. 4-5 ft $1.50 
PEACHES—Polly, Elberta. 11-16 in. 75c 
Peaches did well here in 1941, but are a gamble at the best. 
‘“Hardee’’ Plant patent No. 120. 9-16 in. $1.25 
This patented peach is being handled under license from patent 
owner. It has an unusually good reputation for hardiness and 
seems to be about the best bet for trial here. 
GRAPES—Concord, Niagara, Moores Early, Agawam, Caco. 
2 year, No. 1 30c 
SMALL TREES, Flowering or Unusual 
A cottonwood is a beautiful tree—in its place,—but its place is 
not on the average city lot. Most of the American Elm and Soft 
Maple planted in Denver during Mayor Speer’s time were much too 
close together ever to make healthy beautiful trees. 
There is a need for trees suitable for planting on city lots 
which will never get too large. There is also need for more bloom- 
ing trees, and a greater variety of trees. We have suggested be- 
low a list of trees filling these requirements, which might be more 
generally planted. Some of these are usually seen as large shrubs, 
but they may be trimmed to form good small trees.
