POLLINATION 
beouree a FULL YIELD of FRUIT Bact Year 
Sometimes fruit trees, particularly Apple trees raised from even the finest quality nursery stock, 
fail to bear heavily or regularly. The fault is not in the trees. 
Here’s a simple explanation: 
Most all pullets or hens will lay eggs. But if you want to hatch the eggs, a Rooster must fertilize 
those eggs before they are laid. It takes about one Rooster to every 15 or 20 hens. 
It’s very much like that with Apple trees. A “Rooster Tree,” or Pollinator is needed to insure 
a full crop and regular production. 
The Apple Pollination Chart below shows what varieties go with each other for best results. 
Here are the Rooster Trees: 
Key: 
1—Yellow Transparent 
2—MclIntosh 
3—Wealthy 
4—Duchess of Oldenburg 
5—Cortland 
6—Red Delicious 
7—Red Rome Beauty 
8—Jonathan 
The first column below lists all varieties 
pictured in this Plate Book. The second 
column gives the “Key Number” of the 
Rooster Trees, or Pollinators, for the varie- 
ties in the first column. 
Where more than one “Key Number” is 
given, customer may choose the ‘Rooster’ 
variety he likes best to pollinize the variety, 
or varieties selected.
