A Whole Orchard on a Single Tree! 
5-In-1 Tree 
Such a tree is made possible by grafting with varieties from 
the earliest to the latest. An ideal tree where space can accom- 
modate only one, two or three trees. The varieties grafted on 
5-In-1 Trees will vary, but most generally consist of Yellow 
Transparent, Summer Rambo, Stayman Winesap and Delicious. 
5-In-1 Trees are offered only in 2 yr. 4-6 ft. size at $3.50 each. 
4-In-1 Tree 
4-In-1 Trees are produced in the same manner as the 5-In-1 
serving the same purpose but having one less number of varie- 
ties. These Multiple Variety Trees are not only practical for 
the home garden or lawn, but are new, interesting and the aver- 
age grower takes pride in showing them to his friends.
