Apples
Growing- the Apple is a profitable commercial proposition, hold- ing- out to planters the possibility of an income from this source about four times as great as could be derived from a similar acreage devoted to ordinary farm crops.
The home garden that has the necessary space available is not complete without one or more Apple trees. The healthfulness of this fruit is proverbial, and surely it is more pleasurable to buy an Apple tree than it is to pay a doctor’s bill.
The varieties we offer have been selected for their sterling worth, productiveness, flavor, time of ripening, and for other special reasons mentioned in the various descriptions.

Roses
Roses are the most beautiful of flowers, and they are among the easiest to raise in perfection. They require plenty of manure and good cultivation. Old and decayed branches, and at least half the previous season’s growth, should be cut away early each spring, and a little cutting back after the first blooming will insure more late flowers.
$1.00 each; $10.00 dozen.
