New Hardi- Graft 
DOUBLE-RED DELICIOUS 

‘The above photographs clearly illustrate why we 
recommend the Hardi-Graft tree. While a fine va- 
riety, the Delicious could be a bit more hardy in 
Northern Colorado. Severe winters have left sun- 
seald damage and black heart injury causing the 
tree to deteriorate as in the illustration to the left. 
The illustration to the right is a typical Hardi-Graft 
tree with not a blemish on it and in excellent, thrifty 
condition. 
The success of our Hardi-Graft apples rests 
on the special hardy and thrifty crab which is the 
trunk and main support of the tree on which the 
Delicious is grafted. 
A ten year orchard is convincing that Delicious 
can be grown with confidence as a major commercial 
variety on the Eastern Slope. Important results are 
—greater hardiness—choice fruit as a result of free, 
healthy circulation of sap—early bearing due to 
steady undiminished growth.

A nation wide shortage of fruit stock may not 
be fully corrected until after the war. We have been 
able to maintain reasonable production in most fruit 
items, but with increased demand some sizes and 
varieties will be extremely limited as planting time 
approaches. We urge customers for commercial quan- 
titties of fruit stock to indicate their needs as far 
in advance as possible and suggest reservation for.
