Dwarf Apples—For Limited Spaces 
Standard Apple trees are 
propagated by budding or 
grafting onto roots of French 
Crabs, which produces the tall 
growing trees. Doucin stocks 
render the tree dwarf in type. 
The Doucin stock attains a 
height of 15 to 20 feet. 
We carry the leading dwarf 
varieties listed below. 
Baldwin 
Delicious 
McIntosh 
Northern Spy 
Red Astrachan 
Rhode Island Greening 
Yellow Transparent 
We have hundreds of acres under cultivation, producing 
only the best plants and trees.
