STATEMENT OF INSPECTION FOR TRUENESS TO NAME 
Amherst, Mass. 
October 1, 1941 
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: 
This is to state that all the saleable apple stock now growing in thei 
nurseries of the Wallingford Nurseries of the Barnes Nursery & Orchard 
Company near Wallingford, Connecticut, have been examined for trueness 
to name by J. K. Shaw and L. Southwick and, as they now stand in the 
nursery row all trees are, to the best of our knowledge and belief, true to 
name. 
J. K. Shaw, 
Research Professor of Pomology 
NON-WARRANTY 
We strive to avoid mistakes, but in the event that any nursery stock 
sold by us should prove untrue to the label under which it is sold, provided 
notice and proper proof are furnished to the seller, the seller shall, at the 
option of the buyer, either refill that portion of the order which was mis- 
labeled, by another delivery of stock or refund the purchase price. But in 
any case the seller is not to be held responsible for a sum greater than the 
original selling price of such stock. All sales or agreements to sell are made 
subject to shortage of nursery stock from fire, frosts, drought, or other causes 
beyond control of the sellers.. 
APPLICATION OF PRICES 
Customers may select 5 of any kind of fruit (such as 5 peach) at the 
10 rate, 50 at the 100 rate. 
DISCOUNT 
5% discount may be deducted on all orders where the total amount is 
remitted with the order and this is sent before April Ist. 
SIZE OF TREES 
Caliper or diameter governs the size of all fruit trees except l-year 
apple. Height is only approximate. 
STANDARD APPLE TREES 
ORDER EARLY 
Permanent apple trees are usually planted about 40 feet apart. Some 
growers prefer more, some a little less. Some also use fillers, such as peach 
trees, or early bearing varieties of apples, making them 20 feet apart, or if 
planted only in the center of the 40-foot space the distance will be 28 feet. 
As the trees begin to crowd, taking out one-half will leave them 28 feet 
apart and later when the remaining fillers are removed, the distance will be 
40 feet. Thus an income can be had for many years, when the permanent 
trees will need only a portion of the land.

THE APPLE ORCHARD 
In what other line of agriculture can returns be had year after year as 
with apple orcharding.. Today, high capacity sprayers, tractors, etc., make 
it possible to produce several times as much per man as could be done a few 
years ago. 
Thus apple growing has developed into. a major business and with an 
improved product as well as improved advertising through the various insti- 
tutes, the public is again turning to the apple as a necessity in diet. 
A person’s lifetime can be represented in an apple orchard so long as 
it is properly cared for, producing its crop of fruit each year. A sufficient 
quantity to use the best labor saving machinery and to attract the best and 
largest buyers is very desirable. 
Prices are on the rise. Plant in Spring of 1942, saving on cost of trees 
: . . bd 5 
and time of bringing to bearing. 
We are selling only apple trees of our own growing and every tree 
offered by us has had Dr. Shaw’s inspection for trueness to name. 
Woodside, N. Y., March 17, 941 
Dear Sirs: 
Thank you for the peach trees you sent last year. Although late in the season—May 
20, every one lived and made a satisfactory growth.

SPRING DUG — FINEST TREES POSSIBLE 
While we do not have as many peach trees as usual, we have grown a 
very excellent lot in spite of dry weather. Our list of varieties is gradually 
changing, many older varieties being replaced by newer, better ones. As 
has been our practice for several years we are continuing Spring digging

Fruit and Vegetable Crops and Diseases 
Goldeneast. A large, oval, highly colored, yellow fleshed peach follow- 
ing Golden Jubilee, and about two weeks before Elberta. Our own orchard 
of Goldeneast produced its first peaches this past summer. A few in a basket 
passed through ten days of daily 80 to 90 degree temperature before decaying, 
indicating wonderful keeping qualities and the flavor is unsurpassed. 
Hale Haven. This variety originated at the Michigan Experiment 
Station as a cross between South Haven and J. H. Hale. It is an improved 
South Haven, having large size, high color, excellent flavor and is very hardy. 
Belle of Georgia. September Ist. Probably the best known and most 
popular of white varieties. 
Elberta. September 4th. Known to all. King of Peaches. 
J. H. Hale. September 8th. The tree is not a very strong grower, but 
the fruit of well grown J. H. Hale are immense, handsome and of excellent 
flavor.. 
Lizzie. September 20th. Best of its season. Similar to Elberta, being 
a chance seedling of that variety. Not quite as much red, but otherwise 
similar.
