5 FEET HIGH ^ VlTH 8000 BLOSSOMS Childs' True gisojarck Introduced a few years ago,but true stock has been very scarce.so much so that we never dared tell the whole truth about this wonderful Apple, as our stock was not sufficent to supply the demand. It is a pity that much spurious stock has been sold, and many people who think they have the Bismarck Apple, know nothing about the merits of the true variety, which was introduced in America by us. Our stock this year is sufficient for all demands, and we now tell you just what the true Bismarck is. A dwarf Apple, fruiting generally the second year from grafts, even on trees only 12 to 18 inches high, and may be grown in flow- er pots. Size of fruit 15 inches in circumference, weight 18 ounces, color light green, with bright â crimson on exposed side. Above cuts made from pho- tograps of trees three years ^d. 8,000 blossoms on a 5 foo^ w?. bushel mam- moth Apples on a 4 foot tree. In our Bismarck orchard are loo trees of this sort. Smallest Apple tree known: largest fruit known. A perfect wonder. A most unique lawn or garden tree, or as a pot or tub plant it will astonish everyone. Year old trees, many of which will fruit at once, 35c. each; 3 for $1.00. £ BUSHELS oF FRUIT. PPLE
