if planted separately. Pollen from 
nearby trees of different variety is 
often needed. Noted on these pages

@ —self-untruitful. Do not plant by 
itself, but always with another vari- 
ety of the same fruit to cross-pollen- 
ize. 
(P) = good pollenizer.

Some apples All pears 
Most peaches Some apples 
All sour cherries Sweet cherries

Above prices are as low as can possibly be made and still maintain scrupu- 
lous care in identity, selection, digging and packing. Field wages have 
nearly doubled in the past year. It was either raise prices or lower the 
quality, which we will not do. Our trees are the largest and best northern 
grown fruits that can be had. 
{Malus pumila) 
Apples prefer well-drained and fertile soil. You cannot expect the 
best results if you plant them in impoverished ground. 
Main leaders of the trees should be cut back after their first season's 
growth. This will produce branching and thus make a better frame- 
work. Plant 25 feet apart. Most kinds bear at 6th to 8th year.
