DWARF APPLES 



An increasing demand for Apple trees to be grown in back yards of city homes, and on limited acres else- 

 where, has brought about the Dwarf Apple. When full-grown, these trees stand from 8 to 12 feet high, yet they 

 bear large crops of regular-sized fruit. 



We have recently given considerable attention to producing satisfactory results along these lines, and are 

 now offering first-class Dwarf Apple trees in most of the regular standard varieties; see Ust below. 



Dwarf Apple trees begin bearing the second year after planting and come into full bearing in four or five years. 

 For this reason they are desirable for planting where room is 

 scarce and where quick results are wanted. 



In commercial plantings, also, where standard trees are 

 set out in large numbers, it is sometimes an advantage to plant 

 dwarfs in check-rows, letting them remain until the standard 

 trees have attained a bearing age. 



Of course, the standard trees will then need all the room 

 and the dwarfs should be removed, but as they come into bearing 

 so much sooner than the standards, it is often profitable to plant 

 dwarfs and so make the land yield some revenue while the others 

 are coming to maturity. 



Their low growth makes it easy to spray and gather the fruit, 

 and the "open" tendency of the branches admits sunlight to all 

 parts of the tree, thus ripening the fruit more evenly. We offer 

 the following varieties of Standard Apples budded on clean, 

 vigorous Paradise and Doucin stocks: 



Baldwin, Bismarck, Duchess, Early Harvest, Falla- 

 water. Golden Sweet, Gravenstein, Northern Spy, Red 

 Astrachan, Rhode Island Greening, Stayman's Winesap, 

 Sweet Bough, Wealthy.

 size of the trees themselves.
