WASTIESBORO, VIRGINIA 


On the following pages we offer you the finest strains of 
Fruit varieties our long experience can give you. We are 
constantly improving existing varieties and testing new 
introductions. 
As Virginia’s Largest Growers, we confidently recom- 
mend 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 

At last we have come to realize the importance of grow- 
ing 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 gar- 
dens and orchards. 
But don’t waste precious time and land by planting 
stock you can’t be SURE of ! Let Virginia’s Largest Grow- 
ers Supply your needs—with strains that have been thor- 
are the best to be had. oughly tested for performance. 
FRUIT TREE POPULATION DROPPED 
30,696,862—or more than one-third—from 1930 to 1940. 
We predict that unless increased planting takes place 
immediately, serious fruit shortages are inevitable. 

APPLES 
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 har- 
vested—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 varieties of the same 
class. So if you do not find in our list an old favorite you so much enjoyed in 
grandfather’s orchard, you most likely will find that we do list an improved 
variety which will not only take its place, but be superior. 
Planters differ as to choice of varieties, sized trees, date to plant, etc. The New 
Double Red Strains have almost displaced the old varieties, and the tendency is 
towards using older, larger trees. All experienced planters are taking pollina- 
tion into consideration in planting new orchards or even in replanting old or- 
chards. So we recommend an assortment of varieties to provide for pollina- 
tion; it is best not to depend altogether on one variety. 
You will note that we have made two divisions of Apples. The first group con- 
tains Summer and Fall Varieties; the second group, Winter Varieties—the 
varieties in both groups being listed alphabetically. 
SUMMER AND FALL APPLES 
Summer and Fall varieties have been neglected in commercial plantings and are now 
proving, in many cases, more profitable than Winter varieties. In the home orchard a 
selection from this list will furnish fried Apples and sauce from early June and ripe 
fruit from late June until November. We offer the following choice varieties:

larger in size, the Lodi is expected to be- 
come even more popular than the well

mend including the Lodi, as well as 
some of the other Summer varieties, in 
your next commercial planting.
