King David 
I have been growing the King David for a great 
many years and so far it has not failed me. Maybe 
not as large as some of the other apples but it 
bears good heavy crops and sells at a price that 
every one can afford to use them, Good for all 
uses, canning, preserving, drying, cooking, or to 
eat raw. I have one fruit customer that always has 
te have a bushel of King David for sauce. Medium 
sized, flaming red apple, ripe now the 6th of 
August. I have some trees that I will gather as 
many as ten bushels off of. Be sure to plant some 
King David and you will have apples. 
~ Smokehouse 
Why the Smokehouse it not more widely known 
and planted I do not know as it is certainly an 
apple that pays off. Large flat, green apple, very 
little color. Can be used for cooking when green 
as it cooks to pieces. We have been baking them 
using honey in place of sugar and they are 
delicious. Hang on the tree for weeks, being an 
advantage especially for home consumption. If 
you only have a garden spot plant a Smokehouse 
apple. Ripens in July and August, 
‘Yellow Delicious 
Looks something like Delicious in shape but a gold- 
en color with a red cheek. I have received samples 
of this apple from as far south as San Antonio 
and at Goldthwaite, Texas, it bears the most beau- 
tiful of all apples, It does well in this country, 
at Paris and many other place in Texas. One 
grower reports that he gathered twenty bushels 
of the golden apples from a single tree, Brings the 
highest price on the market and gets ready for 
ste just before apples are shipped from the 
north. 
“Delicious Apples 
The tree of this apple is a very vigorous grower 
and is such a pretty tree it is often used for or- 
namental planting. The Delicious apple is too 
well known to need much description, but I want 
to say one of my customers at Hawley, Texas, grew 
apples this season so large that it took only thirty- 
six to make a bushel. This is too large for market 
of course but it shows what can be done. It is 
paying well around Clyde and Paris, Texas. I can 
give you the names of growers if you desire. This 
is a wonderful apple and where apples do well is 
a success in Texas. 
~ Anoka 
Likely the quickest bearing apple on earth. Trees 
will nearly always bear second year planted ana 
two year trees bear first year. Average size, striped, 
fine for market and home use July. 
~ Hopa 
Flowering Crabapple 
From early spring until freezing weather this 
tree will be a delight to you. In the spring the 
expanding foliage is brenzy red, but before the 
leaves are fully developed the whole tree bursts 
into bloom, being completely covered with the 
most magnificent fragrant pink flowers. It is 
hard to imagine anything more showy. 
The flowers are followed by the prettiest tiny 
red apples that bejewel the tree during the sum- 
mer. You can make a good jelly from them. 
Hopa Crab is easy to grow and perfectly 
hardy. No wonder it is our most popular flow- 
ering ornamental tree.

~ Jonathan 
One of the leading market apples of the country. 
Originated in northern New York but does extra 
well in Texas. The trees are rather slow in growing 
with light green leaves and rather light bark. 
Comes into bearing quickly and makes a hardy 
long life tree. The apples are red and of the very 
finest quality. I have been growing this apple in 
my orchard for forty years and can assure my 
customers it is a good one. Makes fine pollenizer 
for other varieties. I have the bright red strain 
and it is a beauty. 
~ 5NI Apple Trees 
Apples for the entire summer from only 
one apple tree. This is a space saver and 
where you only have a town lot they really 
do get the job done. Usually bear heavy as 
we use the most productive of varieties on 
them. They are made up mainly of the fol- 
lowing varieties: Yellow Delicious, Red De- 
licious, Winesap, Yellow Transparent and 
Holland. Just think, five kinds of apples 
all from one tree. 
5 foot branched — $3.00 each 
~ Holland 
(Summer Champion) 
This apple is fast becoming one of our leading 
apples. Although an old apple it is just now 
coming into its own, The trees are fast, vigorous 
growing and produces young. Apples large red 
with a peculiar lavender tint that will catch the 
eye on any market. I know one grower that only 
gets about four to five dozen of these apples to a 
bushel and sells them around four dollars per 
bushel. This I believe equals anything we have 
shipped in. If you are planting apples be sure 
and do not overlook the Holland, a must in any 
apple orchard,
