Apple Growing Is a Failure If You Don’t Plant High Quality Trees — Insist on T. V. Nurseries Trees 
The apple is the first in importance of all fruits. It will thrive on nearly any well drained 
soil. Its period of ripening, unlike other fruits, extends nearly through the whole season. By 
making careful selection, a constant succession can be obtained. For family use there is no 
fruit that is more indispensable. No fruit is so healthful and many physicians say that if a per- 
son would eat an apple a day they could disperse with doctor bills. Besides this, and just as 
important, is the fact that the average price on the market is steadily increasing and the immense 
demand for home consumption, foreign shipping, canning and evaporating assures high prices. 
The apple if given the same care and attention as other farm crops, will yield greater returns per 
acre. The following list we consider to be the best for general planting:

RED BIRD The best Red Early Apple, gets 
ripe before Yellow Transparent, 
has good color. Does not keep very long. It is 
a good seller. 
RED GRAVENSTEIN 4 Grav enstein 
type apple, has a 
better color. A good quality. 
GRAVENSTEIN ree, beautifully dash- 
ed with deep red and or- 
ange; tender and crisp, with a highly aromatic 
flavor; tree very vigorous. August. There is no 
orchard complete without one. 
FALL 
FALL PIPPIN The tree is a eee and 
vigorous grower with 
somewhat of a drooping habit. It is particularly 
adapted for growing in the coast regions of South 
California, although good results have been oeb- 
tained by planting it in the central coast re- 
gions, interior valleys and foothill sections. The 
fruit is very large, uniform in shape, being round- 
ish and generally flattened. Its beauty and size 
render it a very popular variety for table use 
as well as for all culinary purposes. It is one 
of the earliest autumn varieties. The skin is 
thin and smooth being of a clear yellow color 
when ripe, often blushed with a brownish tinge 
on one side, bearing a few russet colored dots. 
The flesh is moderately firm, white, tender, juicy 
and sub-acid. Ripens in late September and in 
cold storage can be easily kept as late as 
January.
