APPLE TREES
In One Order Given the Wash
ineton Nursery of Top
penish, Wash.

Tonnenish. has just closed contract
with the Arcadia Irrigation Assocla-
ton of Spokane agreeing TO iuInlsn
them with ONE MILLION apple trees
for their large fruit tracts. This is
the biggest deal of the kind ever con-
summated in the history OF any
nursery and reflects great credit on
the Washington Nursery 20, (, pom
est possible grade of stock, and their
business enterprise in securing an Or
der of this magnitude. Toppenls.h
may we'll be proud OF such an lnstl-
tuition and with orders of this size
coming it's way, the company will
certainly develop into an immense
organization at rapid rate. IN Iact,
its growth during the less than four
is little less than marvellous and the
credit is altogether due to the well
known experience and ability or the
president, Mr.. A: w. Mcdonald; W VINO
brought. with him to I0ppenisn
business, coupled with keen business
foresight, in selecting location Tor
his growing fields on the Yakima In
dian reservation, far removed from
old, infected orchards, where the
trees could be protected from con-
taminatiOn.
How we'll he has succeeded is prov
en- by the fact that the Washington
Nursery Co., of Toppenish, is now
the second largest WCoI -
the Rockies, and their reputation is
such that the Arcadia Irrigation AS
ISOLATION in promoting their large
enterprise wisely chose the STOCK
from Toppenish in preference to al
others, as announced in their large
ad in the northwest papers, extracts
from which reads as follows:
"The Arcadia closed the contract
to-day with a large nursery company
for 1,ooo,0O0 apple trees. This is the
fat~ "a fIrnn
ever given.
"These trees were ordered from the
Washington Nursery Company, of
Toppenish.
1--WE sent our expert all over this
state and part of Oregon and Idaho
and he reported that the Toppenish
Nursery surpassed them all in purity
from all insect pests and quality or
trees"
The first large installment of this
order goes out with the spring de-
livery.
The above news item going the
rounds of the press in various forms
is the talk of the fruit world to-day.
1t needs no comment from us, save
I to say that the Arcadia people could
have bought trees of numerous COM
panies for cent or two less per
tree, but when guaranteeing. their
of first quality true to name, on
hardy, vigorous three-year-old roots,
free from pest or disease they knew
there was One Nursery that met the
conditions. That is the Washington
Nursery Company, of Toppenish,
| Washington.
We might say for the benefit of
those who may not yet have seen the
Arcadia Company's ads that they are
placing on the market large num-
Der of Irrigated fruit tracts north of
Spokane. all ready set out to choice
varieties of fruit, hence this immense
order
We are constantly filing large or
ders for big orchards for practical
fruit men who are engaging in the
business along commercial lines.
If you are in that class let us hear
from you. Agents everywhere, and
more wanted.
