FALL APPLES 
Ripening between early apples and .late 
(winter). apples, they keep fairly good, 
and in the extreme North where late 
apples would not mature, these fall ap- 
ples are considered winter apples and in 
such localities will make very good keep- 
ers. They furnish fruit after the early 
apples are used up, and before the late 
varieties commence to ripen. 
A nice apple of fairly good 
Anoka size. yellow with red stripes. 
Ripens end of August, and makes a nice 
apple for the North. Not a new apple. 
For a good many years I have grown this 
sort for special orders, and recently, due 
to increased demand, I have grown more 
of them. Add 10c per tree to the prices 
quoted for apples. 
This apple does well most 
Wealthy anywhere, can safely be 
planted in the North also. It is a great 
bearer, in fact few varieties are so hardy 
and so productive. <A good apple for eat- 
ing, cooking, drying or pies; large, mostly 
covered with red, fine grained and juicy. 
Without this good apple your orchard is 
not complete. I recommend it, knowing 
how pleased you will be with your 
Wealthy apple. Ripens in September. 
A standard market 
Maiden Blush apple, good in size 
and quality. Its nice appearance helps 
to sell it. Ripens in September. 
EARLY APPLES 
Early apples are hardy anywhere, and 
they bear extra well. Due to the fact 
that they cannot be kept very long after 
ripening, they should be planted in small 
numbers Only, unless there is a large 
city nearby where early apples would 
find a good and profitable sale. 
Duchess of Oldenburg (1°: 
in size, greenish yellow with red stripes. 
Bears heavily. It is a little sour, and on 
that account an excellent apple for cook- 
ing. The tree is a wonderful grower. 
making a large crown, with a heavy 
foliage. If you would need a combination 
fruit and shade tree this apple would do 
well, and for that purpose I recommend 
the 4 to 6 ft. size for planting. 
Early Harvest ripen; with us here 
usually ahout July 4. On the farm my 
father counted this apple and Mayflower 
Marly Peaches to be the earliest of the 
large fruit trees. You must grow these 
trees yourself to appreciate fruit of such 
quality and so early in the summer.

An old-fashioned early ap- 
Red June ple. Have small supply of 
trees on hand; order early and reserve 
your Red June apples. Ripens with Yel-

with red stripe. 
Ripens a 
Yellow Transparent fi? °"aiye 
after Early Harvest. It is of pale yellow 
color and larger than the Early Harvest. 
Flesh white, of finest quality. The tree 
bears very young, and is perfectly hardy. 
This is one of the finest early fruits that 
can be grown in any locality.

oud OF 
The Dark Red Jelly Crab. The 
Dolgo high quality of this beautiful 
red crab apple, the abundance in which 
they are produced, and the hardiness of 
the tree, will satisfy you in every re- 
spect. For the finest jelly use Dolgo 
Crab apples. The tree bears young, and 
grows well. If you plant the 4 to 6 ft. 
trees you can grow Dolgo into a very 
pretty shade and ornamental tree on the 
lawn. or wherever you like to have a tree 
of good appearance. Dolgo is hardy 
everywhere, and will supply you with its 
wonderful fruit for many years. 
Ww = THE SWEET CRAB. The 
hitney apple is of good size; |] 
would say on the average as large as the 
old-fashioned Winesaps. It is green with 
red stripes, good for raw eating and for 
cooking. In the North this is considered 
a very good summer apple. Whitney, 
Dolgo Crab, Duchess Apple, the Superb 
Apricot all make very good shade trees, 
and it seems to me that at this time 
when so many old shade trees must be 
replanted it would be well to include a 
few of these trees for shade as well as 
fruit for planting around the home. Es- 
pecially on the farm such trees would he 
of great value, and if you select the large 
size, 4 to 6 ft. trees, you will have no dif- 
ficulty growing them to nice shade tree 
shape. 
“4 - The apple is 
Yellow Siberian The, apple is 
comes in clusters, and is canned with the 
stems. The tree is perfectly hardy, and 
same as the above varieties it is a vigor- 
ous grower, making a well shaped, pretty 
tree. There are few forest or shade trees 
that would be more valuable in years 
to come for their shade as these Crab 
Apples, and of the latter you are sure to 
get nice crops of fruit. For home use 
as well as market Crab Apples are quite 
valuable. My advice is that you plant 
more of them. Can furnish only 5 to 7 ft. 
trees of this variety. 


PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS 
Plant Apples 30 by 30 feet apart, or plant 
35 by 35 feet apart, and plant a fill€r 
tree between each 2 apple trees. For 
filler trees we recommend Plums, Cher- 
ries, Dwarf Pears and Peach trees. These 
fillers will give you an early income from 
your orchard, and can be removed when 
the apples require all the space in later 
years. 
Plant apple trees about 2 inches deeper 
than grown in the nursery. Water well 
at planting time. Apple trees need prun- 
ing after planting. Cut all limbs back to 
one-half of their length, the leader may 
be cut back a few inches. If you want 
our men to prune your trees before ship- 
ping, please give this instruction in your 
order by stating: ‘‘Prune Ready for 
Planting.’’
