KELLY’S CERTIFIED APPLE TREES

. . . carry Official Certification Tags, insuring that each tree will bear True - to - Name fruit!

In addition to inspecting for trueness to name a]] of Kelly Brothers Apple Trees, Professor J. K. Shaw has attached to thousands of trees of each of the leading- commercial varieties the Official Certifica¬ tion Tag of the Massachusetts Fruit Growers’ Association. This tag bears on its face the name of the variety of fruit the tree is certified to bear, and on the reverse side, the official stamp of the Massachu¬ setts Fruit Growers’ Association.

Owing to the cost of attaching Certification Tags, we are obliged to make a slight additional charge for trees with Certifica¬ tion Tags attached.

KelLf^ TRUE -TO -NAME APPLE TREES

\Mion you l)uy our Apple Trees you are buying trees that have been grown under most exacting conditions. Starting with a whole root seedling (grown from imported French seed) our trees are propagated the best and most expensive way — by the budding method. Each year we go direct to commercial bearing orchards and cut bud wood from those trees that show the best desired color and bearing qualities. ^^’e believe this to be of utmost importance in order that the trees may have a good foundation, be free from all disease, and insure a healthy permanent growth. ^^dlether you have room for only a few trees in your yard or contemplate planting an orchard, 3'ou should plant Kelly’s Apple Trees. We have discarded all varieties not profitable to the planter, and list below the following recommended varieties that cover a long ripening season.

ua^Uetie^

EARLY HARVEST— An old variety still hold¬ ing popularity because of its large size and early bearing qualities. Fruit is pale 3'ellow and of fine flavor. Tree is a vigorous grower and an annual bearer. August.

GOLDEN SWEET — Large pale yellow fruit with very sweet flavor. August.

LODI— A new fruit that closely resembles one of its parents. Yellow Transi)arent, but the fruits are larger and ripen a little later. An annual bearer that is becoming a commercial variety. Tends to bear jmung. August.

MELBA — A new McIntosh seedling from Can¬ ada. Fruit is attractive, with bright crimson over pale yellow color. Good size and pleasantly flavored. Season shortly ahead of Early Mc¬

Intosh, thus adapted for the roadside stand and the home.

RED ASTRACHAN — Tree hardy and good bearer. Fruit very handsome, large, round, nearly covered with deep crimson, overspread with thick bloom; juicy and good, though rather acid; one of the best of the summer varieties for cooking. Ripens in August.

SWEET BOUGH — Large, pale yellow, sweet, tender, and juicy. Tree a compact grower and abundant bearer. One of the best earh' sweet apples.

YELLOW TRANSPARENT— Tree upright, and a very early and abundant bearer. Fruit of good size; skin clear white turning to a pale yellow; flavor acid and very good. Ripens in August.

EARLY MclNTOSH

For home orchard or com¬ mercial use this is the ideal early variety to plant. Re¬ sembles its McIntosh parent with its handsome red color and uniform rountl shape. The tree is a vigorous grower, hardy and i)roductive. It is an annual bearer, and early thinning is recommended. Under favorable conditions of growth it comes into bear¬ ing at an early age. Resides pleasing the taste, this early apple pleases the eye. The flesh is white, tender, and juicy with fine flavor. Ideal de.ssert api)le. Ripens in August.

Helpful Suggestions to Planters Setting Out Young Trees

Care of Trees on Arrival

In planting nursery stock, one must remember that he is handling a perishable article, and in order for success the trees and plants must be handled properly on arrival. If for any reason the trees cannot be planted at once, we recommend the following procedure:

Boxed shipments should be kept intact in a cool place where the trees will not dry out. They

can be kept in the box for a week to ten days without harm. Smaller baled shipments should be opened and placed in a cool, damp shelter, such as an ordinary house cellar. The roots should be kept damp and covered with burlap or other such material. Do not unpack trees and heel them in the ground where they are exposed to the drying winds and sun before planting.

POLLINATION OF FRUIT TREES

The value of iiollination in the j)roduction of a fruit croj) is now recognized. Although many varieties are self-fruitful and thus re(]uire no pollination from another variety, exjieriments show they are greatly benefited by cross jiollin- ation. Necessarily because of the lack of space available, we are only able to give brief notes on this important t()|)ic. For more detailed informa¬ tion, we suggest that you write to your State (Jolh'ge or Ex|Hu-imental Station, the address of which we would be pleased to furnish on re(]uest. If you do not care to give att(‘nti()n to this detail, just write, stating the number of trees you wish to plant, and we will be pleased to be of servi(*e and sugg(‘st the lu^st combinations.

APPLES Varieties such as McIntosh, R. 1. (Ireening, R(‘(I ( Iravenstein, and Northern S|)v set little fruit without the assistance of an eflicient pollinator, (lood varieties to use for pollination are (’ortland. Wealthy, Delicious, and Macoun.

PEACHES- \Vith the exception of Mikado and J. H. Hale, all the varieties we offer are self- fruitful.

CHERRIES -Sweet Cherries are self-unfruitful, so must be interplanted. WJiere Napoleon, Bing, and Lambert are to be ])lanted together another variety such as Windsor or Black Tartarian must be added as the first three will not ])ollinate each other. The Sour varieties are self-fruitful.

PEARS Most varieties of j^ears do not set a good croj) when plant(Ml alone. Pollination is therefore necessary, and the only combination that is incorniiatible is Bartlett and Seckel.

PLUMS -With the exce])tion of the Prunes, Fellemburg, (lerman, Stanley, etc., which are self-fruitful, plums should be inter-planted to insure a set of fruit — European varieties for pollinating that class and .Japanese sorts for those varieties.

NEW DWARF FRUIT TREES

Dwarf Fruit Trees Bring Quick Returns Often Bear Year After Planting

FRUIT EASY TO PICK FROM DWARF TREES

On account of the low growing habit of dwarf trees you will find it very easy to pick the fruit. Practically all of the limbs can be reached from the ground. In an}^ event, the most you will need will l)e a step ladder. Ease in ))icking is an important item, especially during the busy harvest days.

DWARF TREES BEAR WHEN VERY YOUNG

As the illustration at the right of this page will testify, you will not have to wait long for fruit from dwarf trees. Dwarf trees often bear the year after planting — in fact, it is quite a common occuri’ence to have fruit on dwarf trees in the nursery row, even before the trees are set out in their permanent locations.

FRUIT ON DWARF TREES LARGER THAN ON STANDARDS

The fruit produced by dwarf trees is the same color and quality as that produced by standard trees but will average larger in size. In fact, many authorities claim that fruit from dwarf trees is not only larger but of better quality.

Above illustration shows a 3 year dwarf apple tree loaded with fine crop of large apples.

DWARF APPLE TREES

BUDDED ON NEW MALLING ROOTSTOCK

Our Dwarf Apple Trees are budded on the New Mailing dwarf rootstock introduced recently to this country by Dr. H. B. Tukey of the New York State Experiment Station.

Now you can have several varieties growing in your yard because of the small space required. 15 X 15 is a recommended spacing.

For those who enjoy working with plants, there is a source of much pleasure in dwarf fruit culture, watching the fruit take shape and ripen over the season.

VARIETIES — Cortland, R. I. Greening, Mcl ntosh.

Note — Our supply of these trees is limited, so we suggest you order early.

DWARF PEAR TREES

REQUIRE LITTLE ROOM— FRUIT

Although Dwarf Pear Trees have proven very profitable in commercial orchards, they are best adapted to the garden or home orchard where the space is limited, as they can be planted very close together and require little room.

The fruit is very easy to pick as the trees are low headed, and it is not necessary to wait long for returns as they come into bearing very early, usually the second or third year after planting. Pears are dwarfed by budding on Quince Stock and the trees should be planted three inches below the union.

EASILY PICKED BEAR YOUNG

VARIETIES THAT GROW BEST AS DWARFS

All varieties of Pears do not give good results as Dwarfs. We recommend the following varieties to be good growers and bearers and to give the best satisfaction as Dwarfs:

GOLDEN JUBILEE

An introduction of the New Jersey Experiment Station which we highly recommend. Although comparatively new, it has been widely planted and has i)roven a real money maker.

The tree is unusually hardy and resists excessive cold. A sure cropi)ei- after severe winters and heavy frosts at blooming time. Ripens a few days ahead of Carman.

Golden Jubilee stands without an equal as an early, large, yel¬ low freestone of the highest qual¬ ity. Flesh is yellow, tender, juicy, and sweet. No commercial or¬ chard planting is complete with¬ out Golden Jubilee.

Gentlemen:

Just a note to record what I consider a remarkable record. Year before last I planted one of your Roch¬ ester peach trees. Last year it produced five peaches, and this year about seventy-five, or just under a basket.

Your trees seem excellent, but this one has out¬ stripped them all.

Its pre-eminence as a fruit for jellies and preserves makes the quince a i)rofitable tree for the fruit jrrower, the farmer, or any one havin«; even a small fyarden. The (piince tree does not take much room on account of its dwarfish character. Any kind of i’h‘h soil will give good results. It

can he grown in hush or tree form. Hardly any family’s fruit supply for the winter is com))lete without the quince. We recommend the following- varieties:

CHAMPION Fruit very large, fair, and hand¬ some. Hears ahundantly while young. Flavor delicate, imparting an exquisite quince taste.

ORANGE -Popular, extensively cultivated, re¬ liable, and satisfactory. Roundish, hi-ight golden yellow, very large, fine grained, fine (piality. Rest for cooking.

This is a rich, delicious fruit, coming between cherries and peaches. It is very much like the peach in out¬ ward appearance, but like the plum in quality and texture. The apricot ri|>ens a month or more before the best early peaches come in, which ex})lains the reason for the great demand and prevailing high prices. It should be planted in deep, rich soil; and (*are should be taken to know that the sub-soil as well as the top-soil is dry.

WE GROW THE TREES WE SELL

No other fruit tree, unless it is the cherry, produces more abundantly than a plum tree. Although they will yield crop after crop despite neglect, plum trees will readily show the result of care and modern methods of fruit growing. The commercial side of plum production has received much atten¬ tion in late years, but the supply still falls short of the demand. In general, plum trees thrive best in a sandy or clayey soil. We can recommend to the planter the following varieties: |

GIANT BOYSENBERRIES . . . Hardy, Heavy Bearing, Sweet

Tlie amazing new l)eiTy, a cross of the Black¬ berry, Raspberry, and Ijoganberry, and is far more vigorous than any of its j)arents. It is im¬ mense in size and when you taste it, you will agree that in flavor it stands supreme. The fruit when fully ripened will literally melt in your mouth. A distinctly different, very pleasant flavor, no core and very few seeds, make it a most delicious berry for eating fresh, for pies or

for canning. If you want a real treat, here it is. It makes considerable horizontal growth as com¬ pared to its height. For easy picking, plants should be trained on a fence or wires. Plants are strong, vigorous, and quite hardy. However, we advise covering with straw or hay in Winter in cold climates to avoid Winter injury.

Cultivated Blueberries grow in large clusters, plump, tender, and pracb'cally seedless with the delightful tang of the wild fruit. In addition to bearing large crops, it is a nice bush to add attraction to a lawn or garden.

Blueberries require an acid soil which contains an abundance of peat moss or other partly de¬ cayed vegetable matter. If your soil is d(;flcient in this material, a heavy application of ptat, rotted sawdust, or other material should be made and worked into the top 6 inches of soil.

Plant 3 to 4 ft. apart in rows 6-8 ft. apart. Will produce satisfactorily for .50 years, or more. For proper pollination, jflant two or more varieties. We recommend the following:

CABOT ( Early) — Bush is rather low and spread¬ ing, seldom reaching a height exceeding 4 feet. One of the earliest varieties, a good producer, excellent flavor, and a good shipper. Fruit is large, firm, and attractive.

RANCOCAS (Mid-season) — Popular. Ripens about 2 weeks after Cabot. The bush is tall, vigorous, and productive. 44ie fruit is large, light blue, firm, and attractive.

RUBEL (Late) — Tall well shaped bush, attrac¬ tive appearance, excellent producer, good quality slightly tart berry.

NUT TREES

HAZEL NUT (Filbert) — A slow growing low tree that bears young and prolifically. Does well where peaches succeed. 4 to 5 ft. trees, 75c each.

BLACK WALNUT — Grows from 40 to 60 feet high. Large crops of nuts with rough hard shell containing rich, oily kernels of fine flavor. Trees

ENGLISH WALNUT — A fine lofty growing tree, producing large crops of thin shelled delicious nuts. Trees 3 to 4 ft. high, $1.10 each.
