<DELCON—a true Dwarf Apple Tree for only 1.79 
Delcon was originated by the Missouri State Experiment Station at Moun- 
tain Grove, Mo., and offered for sale for the first time in the United States 
in our March 1948 Seed Sense. Its parentage is Ben Davis, Jonathan and 
Delicious—a true dwarf with drooping branches. 
Some dwarf apple trees are made by multigrafting, a complicated process 
which is more expensive and when you end up you don’t have much of a 
tree; and they have to sell for five or six dollars. But Delcon is a single- 
graft, a true dwarf, a small tree (for easy picking) with full-sized apples, 
and we will sell it for only 1.79, postpaid. Perfect for the back yard. 
The fruit is fine grained, juicy, and has some of the flavor of both 
Delicious and Jonathan. It. produces heavy at an early age, seldom needs 
thinning, ripens about ten days before Delicious, and keeps well in storage. 
You ought to plant it, DeLuxe Grade not available. No. A3015, 2 to 4 
ft. size only 1.79 each, postpaid. 4 to 5 ft. size only 2.19 each, postpaid.
