WASTESBORO, 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 recommend our fruit 
trees and plants for successful growing in your home or commercial or- 
chard or garden. We do not offer 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 the sake of economy, 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. 

FRUIT TREE POPULATION CONTINUES TO DECLINE 
Having decreased one-third between 1930 and 1940. For the past 
five years trees have not been available for normal planting, indi- 
cating a serious fruit shortage in the near future. 

APPLES 
The Apple continues to be the King of Fruits. By earefully selecting varieties, fresh 
fruit can be harvested fror you: trees over a period of six months and the better Winter 
varieties can be kept in commo: 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 thor- 
oughly tested and found to excel older varieties of the same class. 
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 pollination into consideration in planting 
new orchards or even in replanting old orchards. So we recommend an assortment of varie- 
ties to provide for pollination; it is best not to depend altogether on one variety. 
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
