THE PLANTING OF

Readter” Trees  \ Bins rnn, 
Sometimes fruit trees, particularly apple trees raised from even the 
best nursery stock fail to bear heavily or regularly. The fault is not in 
the trees, but in the way the planting was originally planned. You may 
have heard someone say: “| have an apple tree that blooms beautifully 
and heavily but very little fruit sets on it.”’ 
Here’s a simple explanation, why this happens. 
Most all pullets or hens, you know, will lay eggs. But if you want to 
hatch eggs you must have a rooster to fertilize those eggs before they’re 
laid. It takes about one rooster to every 15 or 20 hens. It’s very much 
like that with an apple tree. 
The fruitful part of the flower in a fruit tree is in the center. The pistils are the female part; the stamens, the 
male part. Fertilization, so that fruit will set, comes by way of a bee or the wind carrying the pollen powder from the 
stamen of one variety to the pistil of another variety. 
Some fruit trees fertilize themselves—they are self-fertile. Some are partly self-fertile. Others are entirely sterile 
—not self-fertile. This guide enables you to select varieties that are effective in fertilizing the flowers of fruit trees 
that require cross pollination. 
Let’s call this kind of a tree ‘“A Rooster Tree.’ 
Now, even with trees that are self-fertile, it is better to plant other varieties, those that are sterile or part-sterile 
with them. All the trees produce better when planted that way—even the rooster kind. 
Now here is a very important part of your service to your customer, because any group of fruit trees should include 
enough of the rooster kind of trees to insure a full set of fruit and a succession of fruit every year. 
The apple pollination chart on the inside pages of this folder shows you what varieties go with each other for best 
results, and how many to recommend for each planting of each variety. 
It is not enough to furnish pedigreed stock nurtured and cared for as we do it, but we insure in the last step, the 
fruitfulness of the trees we supply. 
That’s different from the service given by an ordinary salesman of nursery stock, or the service given by a mail 
order concern. The pictures of fruit the ordinary nursery salesman shows may look fine. The varieties may seem all 
right. The time they’re supposed to bear and ripen is according ta the customer’s wish. But he has no way of know- 
ing what varieties go best with other varieties to get the most out of his trees, unless he has the competent advice 
of a fruit advisor like yourself who is equipped and schooled as you are on assured pollination. 
USE POLLINATION CHARTS AND PICTURES 
OF “ROOSTER” TREES (See Inside Pages) 
Whenever you are selling apple trees (whether it is only a few for the city back yard, a small farm family fruit 
garden or an extensive commercial orchard) always spread out this folder by the side of your plate book and leave 
it open so your customer can clearly see and choose the proper ‘’Rooster’’ trees to be planted with each variety he 
selects from your plate book. 
The ratio is one ‘‘Rooster’’ Tree to each eight trees (or less) of the varieties pictured in plate book. 
The city home owner who has only space to plant one apple tree, need not be concerned about pollination as he is 
not interested in maximum production. 
The use of the pollination chart and pictures of the ‘‘Rooster’’ Trees in this folder, when used properly, is the most 
convincing feature in your entire fruit selling program.
