Paradise Stock Dwarf Apple 
One-year apple trees are being planted 
more and more by experienced growers who 
claim the following advantages for them: 
They receive less of a check in transplant¬ 
ing "than older trees, they come into bearing 
as quickly, bear better, and live longer. They 
are cheaper, cost less to buy, less for freight, 
and less to plant. The top can be formed 
high or low to suit the planter’s ideas. Com¬ 
mercial orchardists are seeing their value and 
planting them largely. We have two Year 
Trees for sale to those who want them, but 
we recommend the One Year Apple Trees. 
WHEN YOU PLANT. At least three- 
fourths of the previous year’s growth should 
be removed from the tree at planting. The 
lower branches should be the longest; each 
cut should be made just beyond a bud. Should 
the top be spreading, cut to an inside bud, 
and if it is upright, cut to an outside bud. 
This is of great importance, and should be 
carefully followed.
