Common rooted fruit trees 
shipped from sections further south, 
may look the same as northern rooted trees— 
may even start all right in favorable seasons. But 
when the first hard winter comes along, and there is little 
or no snow for protection, common rooted trees are quite sure 
to be injured or even killed, leaving a dead or crippled orchard. 
An apple tree is no hardier than the root it is grafted upon. Hardy 
root stocks are as vital to your orchard as a good foundation 
is to your home. 
Actual tests show that common, tender root 
stocks are the greatest cause of failure 
in the orchard. Com- 
mercial growers 
know how important 
root stocks are to the 
life of their trees. 
You too, can depend 
on our northern 
rooted fruit trees.

In comparative tests, 50 common rooted trees and 50 
northern rooted trees of the same size and age were 
planted under identical conditions. 
Note the vast difference at 15 years. Of the original 
50 common rooted trees, many are gone entirely. 
Those remaining are less than one-third the 
average size of the northern rooted 
trees, and have borne only 
one-fifth as much fruit.
