VARIETIES OF APPLES TO PLANT 
There are thousands of varieties of apples. For a home garden, you should have varieties that ripen continuously from 
the earliest to the latest, but you should not attempt to have very many varieties for a profitable commercial orchard. 
Select those varieties which have done best in your locality. Charles A. Green and the various State Experimental Stations 
recommend about the following list of apples for planting in the different states named below. Other varieties succeed 
there, but those named are the leaders. 
For Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, 
Indiana, Michigan, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, 
Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota:

DWARF APPLES 
Dwarf apples commence bearing fruit the second year after plant¬ 
ing; and as they do not attain as large a size as standard trees, they 
are especially desirable for village or city gardens. The big advantage 
of these dwarf trees is that they do not attain a size any greater than 
peach, plum, etc., and this makes them very desirable for gardens in 
the city where space is limited. Heretofore city people have been 
obliged to buy all their apples, because the size of their garden plot 
would not enable them to plant standard trees on account of the amount 
of space these standard trees required. These dwarf trees bear when 
very young and bear very abundantly. There is no question as to 
the desirability of being able to go out into your own fruit garden and 
pick fruit from trees of your own growing and eat it when in the freshest 
condition. These dwarf trees open up a new avenue to the people 
who have gardens of a limited size. 
Dwarf apple trees are produced by budding or grafting on dwarf 
growing roots or stock. The fruit they produce is just as large and 
of just as good quality as that of standard trees, the only difference 
between standard and dwarf trees being in the size of the trees. All 
varieties do not thrive on dwarf roots, so do not order varieties not 
given on the list below. The usual distance for garden and com¬ 
mercial planting is 10 ft. apart each way, but dwarf apple trees can 
be planted in hedge rows, the same as dwarf pears, and can be set as 
near together as 3 or 4 ft. When planting this way, of course the trees 
only grow in two directions. They make a very beautiful, ornamental 
and profitable hedge row. For descriptions of varieties of dwarf 
apples we refer you to descriptions given in the preceding pages of 
standard apple trees. * 6
