young and consequently do not 
reach the size they do in the East 
and the Southeast. 
We plant Wealthy twenty feet; 
McIntosh, Snow and Dudley twen- 
ty-five feet, Wagener twenty feet 
Salome twenty-five feet, Liveland 
twenty, but if planted in with other 
varieties twenty-five feet. Were 
all these varieties to be planted in 
alternating strips of several rows 
each, across a piece of land, twen- 
ty-five feet would be the distance I 
would use. 
Method of Planting. Our 
method is first to stake out our 
land, twenty-five feet square, lin- 
ing rip the stakes so they are in 
perfect rows, leaving twenty-five 
to thirty feet margin at the ends 
for convenience in turning later on. 
We use the tree placer of which I 
have a model. This device insures 
perfectly straight rows with all 
sorts of workers. 
Holes are dug amply large and 
deep enough to take in the roots 
without bending. Long roots are 
removed or shortened into reason- 
able length for planting. By us- 
ing a tree placer and placing it 
against the stake then tipping the 
point back it can stay in position 
until the hole is dug and the tree 
placed in the hole straight up. 
Then the point is again tipped 
down, and the tree comes where the 
stake was. 
Nursery Stock. In either cherry 
or apple a two year, five to six foot 
tree, well branched, medium low 
head is about the ideal tree. Tin 
reason I choose a two year tree is 
that the roots are sufficiently large 
to be woody enough to allow a 
ready formation of calluses, while
