PLANTING DIRECTIONS 
You will find the distance apart to plant Apple trees 
on page 11, and how to figure the number of trees to 
the acre. In setting your trees, follow the same trans' 
planting directions that are given for evergreens (see 
pages 10 and 11), with the exception that fruit trees of 
any kind should never be mulched. Mice will make 
nests in the mulching and ruin your trees. The ideal 
place for small fruits, such as raspberries, is between the 
rows of Apple trees—they will then both get the shah 
low cultivation that means best success. 
To produce healthy, well developed fruit, you should 
spray your trees at least three times a year, with Bor' 
deaux Mixture, which can be secured at any drug store. 
First, they should be sprayed in the cluster bud stage, 
when the buds show pink but have not opened up; 
second, when 95 per cent of the petals have fallen; 
third, three weeks after the second spray. You will find 
the Apple tree easy of culture; it will do well on almost 
any well drained soil. 
What wonderful profits orchardists have made 
from Ferris'’ Apple Trees, even in times of de-* 
pression when farm products have brought little 
or nothing. The back lot planting of apple trees, 
with an abundance of fruit for the home, has 
helped to tide over many a hard time. This year 
Ferris’ Apple trees are finer than ever—hardy, 
grown under the most expert conditions here in 
the north, grafted on whole root, with scions 
taken from bearing trees to eliminate any possible 
mistakes in varieties. Now is the time to buy.
