Apples for Home Gardens and 

 Commercial Orchards 



That Apples are the leading fruits in northern markets will not be denied; 

 that the demand is increasing every year is a fact; that the farmer who sets an 

 orchard now will eventually receive big money from the fruit is just as cer- 

 tain as the truth that water runs down hill. 



Hardly a week passes without our reliable farm papers calling attention to 

 the Apple orchard on the farm; to tell their readers where to plant, how to plant, 

 and in many cases what varieties to plant in varying localities. The hints are 

 of value, but usually they are too restricted to be of the greatest value. 



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 spring, 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 illustrations, page 7.)
