SELECT Fruit Trees —Top Quality 
Deciduous fruit trees not only provide ‘‘fruit from the tree’’ in your home garden, but 
they fit well into most planting schemes. Most of the trees listed here will be showy in 
spring with the beautiful blossoms, and then come forth with an abundance of ripe fruit 
which can be eaten fresh or canned. Most of you can find suitable spots in your yard 
for some of these trees, and then you will know the thrill of picking your own fruit after 
only a couple of years. Our stock is of the best, and we will not sell or even offer to our 
customers any tree, plant or shrub which we believe will not be the best available. Plan 
now just what fruit you desire, and then make your selection early. 
The trees listed are sold in their dormant season and are bare root, which is the best 
time to plant them. They will be available in January, February and March (or until the 
supply is exhausted). Our experienced salesmen will be glad to give you any planting in- 
structions you desire, and will also prune the tree for planting if you wish. 
Freestone’ and ‘’Clingstone’’ mean just what the 
name implies, in the first case the fruit is free from 
the pit, and in the latter the fruit clings to 
the stone. Freestones are preferred for eating 
fresh and also are grand canned or made _ into 
sauce. Clings are fine for home canning, and give 
a rich flavor and bright color. Every family should 
have peaches in their own yard, and a fine selec- 
tion is offered by Select Nurseries.
