Jonathan Apples. WINTER APPLES—Continued. GRIMES GOLDEN. Top worked. Twentyyears or more ago Joe A. Burton (probably thebest known apple grower in Indiana), graftedGrimes on Walbridge in his orchard as the Wal-bridge were undesirable for commercial pur-poses. He found that the Grimes so top-workedwere not affected by root rot and body blight aswere the Grimes worked in the usual way. Whenthe Burton Fruit Co., was organized 24 yearsago we decided to plant only top-workedGrimes. These were worked on NorthwesternGreening and Northern Spy. These trees arebearing and showing no signs of root rot orbody blight to date. We were the first Nur-serymen to take up the practice of doubleworking Grimes and still graft and bud Grimeson Northern Spy and other congenial stocks.The orchardist cannot afford to plant GrimesGolden trees unless he plants the top-workedkind. Buy Hobbs top worked trees, the kindthat give results. Indiana Favorite. Medium size, roundish ob-late, covered with light and dark
