On the follow ing pages we offer you the finest strains of Fruit varieties our long experience can give you. We are con- 
stantly improving existing varieties and testing new introductions. 
: As Virginia’s Largest Growers, we confidently recommend our fruit trees and plants for successful growing in your 
home or commercial orchard or garden. We do not present a new introduction until its merits have been proven—and you 
may be sure our strains of your favorites are the best to be had. 
At last we have come to realize the importance of growing as much of our fruit as possible, not altogether for economy’s 
sake, but much pleasure and satisfaction can be found in gardening and fruit raising. Fruit can never taste quite so good 
as when gathered from our own gardens and orchards. 
But don’t waste precious time and land by planting stock you can’t be SURE of! Let Virginia’s Largest Growers supply 
your needs—with strains that have been thoroughly tested for performance.

_ The Apple continues to be the King of Fruits. By carefully selecting 
varieties, fresh fruit can be harvested from your trees over a period of six 
months and the better Winter varieties can be kept in common storage 
until the new crop is harvested—making fresh fruit possible throughout 
the year. 
Our selection of varieties of Apples has been carefully made up after 
many years of growing and testing. The newer, better varieties are listed 
only after having been thoroughly tested and found to excel older vari- tc r AL 
eties of the same class. Soif you do not find in our list an old favorite t no in the nursery 
you so much enjoyed in grandfather’s orchard, you most likely will find sae te Bee
