Apples for Profit and Use 
Every home should have a full supply of apples and by selecting a succession of 
varieties a supply may be had the entire year. If your grounds are not large enough for 
a variety of standard trees, plant dwarfs.

APPLES FOR PROFIT. Although large quantities of apple trees have been planted 
the last few years, we see no danger of over production of first-class fruit. Prices may 
not be so high as they have been sometimes in the past, but there will always be a demand 
at good paying prices. Remember the population of the country is growing rapidly and 
the demand from foreign countries increasing very fast. 
Dwarf Apples 
There are two species of dwarf apples, those 
grafted upon Doucin roots and those upon 
French Paradise roots. Those upon Doucin 
grow to the size of a good large peach tree, 
they bear earlier than the standard trees and, 
while they may not produce so much fruit 
per acre as standards, the size of the trees 
enables the grower to care for the trees and 
fruit in a manner not possible with standards 
and grow a strictly fancy grade that is al¬ 
ways in demand at fancy prices. 
Trees upon French Paradise are very much 
more dwarf in habit than those upon Doucin, 
and are valuable only for those who have 
limited space and want a variety of fancy 
fruit in a short time. They may be planted 
6 or 8 ft. apart, and frequently begin to bear 
the second year from bud in nursery or the 
second year from transplanting. They require 
liberal culture which they repay by produc¬ 
ing bountiful crops.
