FRUIT TREE -SEEDLINGS—American Grown

APPLE SEEDLINGS: The supply is much below
normal this season, and owing to the improved apple tree
market, we look for a stronger demand with increase
in prices.

The advance in apple trees is easily explained by
the small plants of apple which have been made for
several years past. The plant will be small this year
even if every seedling grown is planted, because the crop
is so short, Reports from all over the country indicate
that they demand for apple trees is increasing. Farmers
are prosperous and are replanting their old orchards.
Orchardists are getting fine prices for their fruit and this
stimulates planting. ;

Therefore considering everything the prospects for
apple trees look very bright. Do not make the mistake
of waiting until too late. Plant now before the top of
the market is reached.

Large retail firms should consider this point care-
fully; it will not be so easy for them to pick up short-
ages as it has been, and in order to protect their own
gales, it might be necessary to increase their plant.

On account of the lack of seed, apple seedlings
promise to be scarce next year. We suggest that you line
out some No. 3. or 4 seedlings to be budded the second
summer.

NOTE: Prices subject to change without notice.

ROOT GRAFTS ;

There are just two reasons why you should make
a plant of apple this coming spring; the demand for
apple trees is increasing and the supply is decreasing.

Unless you have experienced help, you will find it
cheaper and ‘better to have us do your grafting. We
have a large force of expert men, who devote their time
during the winter months exclusively to this department.

-The grafting cellars are located close by our office and

ro part of our business receives more careful personal
attention.

We are prepared to put up grafts of any style or
length wanted, and make the price accordingly. We use
the best of materials; orchard scions are used extensively
and selected hardy seedlings grown by us from the best
crab seed that we can procure.

While we are prepared to do machine wrapping,
yet for our own planting we prefer the hand work which
seems to give very satisfactory results. Each order is
grafted by itself and packed separately until shipped.
They are re-packed and inspected several times during
the winter so they are in the best of condition at ship-
ping time.

It is verv imvortant that orders be placed early.
We can give them closer attention and supply a larger
list of varieties than later in the season. Our grafting
season begins about the first of January and continues
throughout the winter. ; ,

As our grafts are put up in bunches of one hun-
dred, do not order a less amount of any one variety. We
will be glad to mail samples upon request. ct

: If ordered alone varieties marked with (*) in the
list of varieties will cost one dollar per thousand higher
than quoted in this list.

APPLE AND CRAB PIECE ROOT GRAFTS

’ Piece root grafts are made by using about six
inches of scion and three and one-half inches of root.
They are tongued together and securely wrapped at the
union, making the entire graft about eight and one-
half inches long, This is the style of graft most gener-
ally used because it makes a well-rooted tree, and if
properly planted many of the scions will throw out
roots.

APPLE AND CRAB WHOLE ROOT GRAFTS

This style of graft is made by using about six inches
of scion and the entire seedling making union at the
collar and wrapping with waxed thread which holds it
firmly until calloused. Many nurserymen prefer to
plant this kind of graft, claiming that they get a larger
growth owing to the well formed root system.
