Because there are over 80 per cent
less apple trees now than there were
in 1910, according to the Washington
Bureau Of reports. There are also
over so per cent less peach trees than
in 1910. What will be the result !?
There is going to be scarcity Of
fruit in few years, therefore now is
fine time to get into the game. We
have the biggest and incest block Of
TWO YEAR old trees we have ever
grown, including Black Ben, Ben
Davis, Gano, Staymens' Winesap,
Grimes, King David, Jonathan, and
all the leading varieties. We also
have a block Of one year old trees
that pleases all those who have in
spected it. This includes all the
standard varieties. We have about
10000 nice peach trees, also berry
