Holmes has already done all that for you! And in ad- 
dition Holmes has weeded out the poor producers, so all 
you buy are “‘bumper crop”’ trees! Here’s real economy. 
You start getting your money back the day this tree is 
moved into your yard! 
Holmes Bearing Trees are “created” by nurtured, 
nursery care. Raised under irrigation in field rows to de- 
velop immense roots, continually sprayed, fed three times 
a season, root-pruned and mulched. That’s why they de- 
velop to bear bigger crops than ordinary “just growed” 
trees of the same age. 
Holmes Orange trees give you a daily crop starting to- 
day. The earlier you order, the better your first year’s 
crop. See us today.

Just one of these ‘‘Self-Service’’ Bearing Trees in your back 
yard gives you all the Grapefruit your family will eat! No fuss, 
no muss, no bother. Just visit us today and soon your Grape- 
fruit tree will be standing in your yard full of fruit! (Of course, 
this means when you order between November and June— 
Ruby’s bearing season! But don’t wait. Order any time; the 
sooner you plant, the better your crop!) 
Remember, you get “super trees’> when you buy Holmes 
Bearing Trees. We've irrigated, fertilized, sprayed, root- 
pruned, transplanted and mulched every one for 7 to 12 years. 
They’re all grown in field rows (no “canned” trees with 
cramped roots at Holmes!) to develop immense roots for big- 
ger crops. A Holmes 7-year tree generally equals ordinary 
10-year-old trees in size, crops—gives you up to3 years’ longer 
bearing life! 
U.S. PLANT PATENT NO. 53. For smaller sizes with-
