DOLGO. The perfect Crab. It is hardy everywhere, usually starts 
bearing the second year — great clusters of deep, solid red fruit 
that makes the finest kind of jelly. The tree itself is distinctly 
ornamental, like a huge bouquet in the spring when covered 
with the blush-pink blooms, and even more beautiful in the 
summer when loaded with the brilliant red clusters. We cannot 
recommend it too highly. 
WHITNEY. Largest of all Crabs and immensely popular; excellent 
flavor. Splendid for pickles and preserves.

And they bear so young — usually the next year after planting. Plant several 
varieties in your clump to get the biggest and best crops, and we recommend 
including at least one Kaga, which is an excellent pollinizer. Ferris’ hardy, 
northern grown Plum trees are so easy to grow-all select, No. 1 grade.

HALE PEACH 
See Table at right showing distance apart to 
plant fruit trees. In setting your trees, follow 
closely the drawing on page 24, being careful 
to set deeply and firmly in good soil, then 
prune the top back severely. The ideal place 
for small fruits such as raspberries, is be¬ 
tween the rows of fruit trees; they will then 
both get the shallow cultivation that means 
best success. 
To produce healthy, well developed fruit, you 
should spray your trees at least three times 
a year, with Bordeaux 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 fruit trees easy of culture; 
they will do well on almost any well-drained 
soil. 
“How Far Apart Shall I Plant?” 
The correct distance apart to plant is often a 
problem to planters. There are no set rules 
for this, but with our years of experience in 
planting and growing, we are glad to suggest 
advisable distances to our customers, which 
will work very satisfactorily in every way.

How to Determine the Number of 
Trees or Plants to an Acre 
Multiply the distance in feet between the rows 
by the distance the trees or plants are apart 
in the row, and the product will give the 
number of square feet that each tree or plant 
will occupy; then divide this number into the 
number of square feet in an acre (43,560), 
and it will give you the number of trees or 
plants to the acre.
