Apples for Home Gardens and 

 Commercial Orchards 



Now and then you will hear some pessimist say that "Too many Apple trees 

 are being planted; never can sell or use the crop." 



Don't you believe it! Ask a wide-awake fruit-dealer his opinion; look at the 

 prices paid for Apples during the past year; see how quickly good fruit is dis- 

 posed of and how greedy the buyers are to get more. 



The pessimist sees only the wormy fruit that lies in the orchard, so don't 

 trust him. There can be no over-production of good fruit, nor will it be sold at 

 a loss. If you have one acre, or a hundred, plant Apple trees. 



The following table shows just what Apples are best adapted to your sec- 

 tion. Whether you grow for home or market, you will find it helpful.

Pruning One-year Apple Trees after Planting. Leave on all the limbs 

 until soring, and when growth starts, if the tree is a whip, simply cut it off at 

 the height which you desire the head to be. We would prefer this to be not 

 more than 18 inches from the ground. If the tree is more or less branched and 

 the head already formed, prune the side branches with regard to the frame of the 

 future head, leaving sticks 4 to 6 inches^ in length and cut off the top. We do 

 not advise pruning the branches or cutting back the top until spring for best 

 success. (See i llustrations, page 7.)
