The property was dead one when

THOROUGHBRED NURSERY
STOCK ON THE MARKET

now have ready for the market
the finest lot of apple and pear trees
ever for sale in this section. These
trees were grown two miles west of
Grants Pass and have three-year
roots with one-year top; grown on
whole roots and not on piece roots.
The scions were taken from trees
that had labeled the previous sea-
son while the fruit was on and they
are all from the very best bearing
trees in our valley. Every scion was
taken from a limb showing fruit
spurs and no water sprouts were
taken. gathered every scion my
self and the grating and planting
was done under my direct supervis-
ion, and l guarantee them all to be
strictly high-grade and true. to label.
These trees have exceptionally heavy
roots, as is evidenced by the growth
the tops have made this season, many
Of them being over six feet. They
have not been forced, having had
only one light watering the past
season.
There is no money In the fruit
business unless you raise high-grade
fruit No profits come from orchards
in which there are only few prof
table trees. Is there any wonder
that many orchards do not pay prof.
its when only a small percent of the
trees is profitable? 1t costs as much
tor care for an Improbable tree as II
does to care for one that has good
bearing habits. Why not have an
orchard in which all the trees bear
first-class fruit? This ideal condi-
tion can only de attained by starting
with nursery stock that has been
propagated along the lines that my
trees have been. II you have a val
liable piece OF ground 1t will pay you
to tear out the young orchards you
have set with questionable trees and
reset with thoroughbred trees. Why
nurse these trees for 10 years or
more only to find they bear inferior
fruit and possibly untrue to name?
1t costs much money, time and labor
to bring an orchard to bearing. It
Is false economy and grave mis-
take to set out cheap nursery stock
The ideal archard is in great de-
mand and will bring fancy price
This price depends on the annual
production. 1t is impossible to make
an ideal orchard unless you start
with thoroughbred trees. A record
has been kept of every tree from
which scions were taken, and every
tree is a profitable and healthy one,
many of which have produced prize
wining fruit. My supply of these
choice trees is limited and | desire
to place them In the hands of those
who understand the business, for a
record orchard can be made with
these trees. My stock is composed
of Bartlett pears, Newtown, Spitzen-
berg and Winesap apples and Tokay
grapes. All home grown. My prices
are right. take great pleasure and
pride in offering these trees to the
public for they are strictly fancy.
strongly recommend fall planting,
