of the McIntosh type that 
ort ann combines the high quality 
and flavor of the McIntosh,

nator. The fruit of Cortland is as large or larger than that of 
McIntosh, round to somewhat conical in shape. In color it isa

Whether you have room for only a few trees in your backyard, or plan 
to plant a large orchard . . . you'll get best results with Kelly’s 
Apples. We say this with confidence, because our trees are grown 
under the most exacting conditions for your protection! 
Starting with a whole root seedling our trees are propagated by the 
budding method . . . the best and most expensive way. Each year 
we go direct to commercial bearing orchards to cut our bud wood 
from trees that show best color and bearing qualities. This is what 
gives Kelly’s Trees the good foundation that assures you of perma- 
nent, healthy growth, disease-free trees and heavy crops year efter year. 
We recommend following varieties as most profitable to the planter.
