HARDY APPLE TREES 
All authorities on Great Plains Horticulture 
recommend planting only young stock such as 
we offer because it establishes itself much more 
quickly and easily and there is likely to be less 
loss. Remember that our apples are grafted and 
budded on the hardiest apple roots in the world.
