At last we have come to realize the importance of growing as much of our fruit as possible, not 
altogether for the sake of economy, but much pleasure and satisfaction can be found in gardening and

Don’t waste precious time and land by planting stock you can’t be SURE of.

DECLINE IN FRUIT TREE POPULATION IS ALARMING 
Having decreased one-third between 1930 and 1940. For 
the past 10 years the decrease is thought to be even 
greater due to light commercial orchard planting and abandonment of old orchards, indicating a serious fruit shortage in the near future. 
APPLES — %¢ kirgo/ fruits 
Plant for Healthful Living. By careful selection of varieties fruit can 
be harvested from your trees over a period of six months and the better 
Winter varieties kept in common storage until the new crop is harvested 
—inaking fresh fruit possible throughout the year. 
Our list of Apples has been carefully made up after many years ot 
growing and testing. The newer, better ones are listed only after having 
been thoroughly tested and found to excel older varieties of the same class. 
Planters differ as to choice of varieties, sized trees, time to plant, etc. 
The New Double Red Strains have almost displaced the older ones, and 
the tendency is towards using the best money can buy. Experienced plant- 
ers are taking pollination into consideration in planting new orchards or 
even in replanting. So we recommend an assortment to provide for 
pollination; not depending altogether on one variety. 
Summer and Fall Apples 
Summer and Fall Apples have been neglected in commercial plantings 
and are now proving, in many cases, more profitable than Winter varie- 
ties. In the home orchard a selection from this list will furnish fried Apples 
and sauce from early June and ripe fruit from late June until November. 
See table page 4 listing Ripening Order. We offer following choice varieties: 
ANOKA. Semi-dwarf tree; new, early bearing red Summer Apple frequent- 
ly fruiting second year after being transplanted; fruit large, delicious. 
Considered by many as the best early Apple; just the tree for a small lot. 
BONUM. Excellent commercial Fall Apple; popular in western part of 
North Carolina. Medium size red, good quality, heavy bearer. 
CLOSE. New, early red Apple ripening a few days ahead of Yellow Trans- 
parent. Introduced by U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. Early, annual bearer. 
* DOUBLE RED DUCHESS. Differs from the Standard Duchess by hay- 
ing more color and coloring earlier in the season. We recommend this 
Double Red Strain. Excellent home orchard variety, as well as a 
popular commercial Apple, having good color and being prolific. 
Lodi 
Anoka 
\ EARLY HARVEST. Well known early Apple. Large, golden yellow. 
One of the old home orchard varieties continuing in excellent demand. 
EARLY RED BIRD. A new scarlet red. Our earliest Apple, several 
days ahead of Yellow Transparent. Large, high quality, good shipper. 
~FALL PIPPIN. An old favorite family variety, ripening in August. 
Large golden yellow. Good for frying as soon as half matured, and 
most delicious when ripe.
