Zilke’s Selected Super- 
Size Fruit Trees 
The best obtainable—you can’t buy 
better trees elsewhere at any price. 
Many nurseries charge anywhere from 
50c to $1.00 each for trees no older, 
or better. Super-Size Trees are the 
pick of the crop—they caliper 11/16 
inch, and many over an inch. They 
run from 4 to 7 feet in height, and 
often higher, depending on the va- 
riety, as some kinds are much larger 
growers than others. Special Super- 
Size Trees are only two years old— 
the same as our smaller grades—but 
these trees were the strongest growers 
in the nursery rows, with the most pep 
and vitality. They’ll forge right ahead 
and continue the same sturdy growth 
when planted in your own garden or 
orchard.
