DOMESTIC FRUITS 
The following list of fruit trees we have found to give the best satisfaction, provided a moderate 
amount of care is taken in planting and cultivating the trees after being planted. We give below a few 
hints as to care, etc. 
Pruning. Before planting trees, shorten half of last year’s growth, to balance up what the tree has 
lost in its root-system by being transplanted. 
Soil. All fruit trees, as a rule, do not grow well in wet or poorly drained soil. They do best in good 
farm soil such as is used to grow wheat, corn, etc. 
Planting. The trees should always be planted in a hole large enough to allow the roots to be spread 
out without cramping them. Then when the tree is held in its proper position the top-soil should be placed 
around the roots and great care taken that it is worked in well among the small roots; then firm it thor¬ 
oughly with the foot. 
APPLES 
Apples having been planted extensively for so 
many years require little introduction. In orchard 
planting they should stand about 30 feet apart, 
whereas in the home grounds they can be planted 
10 to 15 feet apart. 
4 to 5 ft., 50 cts. each, $4 for 10; 6 to 7 ft., 75 cts. each,
