Propagated on special root stocks, 
dwarf Apples and Pears will 
begin to fruit within 2 or 3 years. 
Of bushy habit they can be 
kept to a height of 7 feet or so 
and with a spread of 10 to 12 ft. 
they bear heavily in a few years. 
Dwarf trees bear exactly the 
same size fruits as tall standards 
and not infrequently the quality 
is superior. They are easily 
pruned and sprayed and for gar¬ 
den purposes are especially 
valuable. 
Yellow Transparent Apple The dwarf fruit tree is dwarf in 
tree size only, with fruit that is 
always as large and usually larger than the fruit grown on 
standard size trees. It has the added advantage of being readily 
picked without the use of high ladders. 
The dwarf fruit tree is especially adapted to the city or subur¬ 
ban home where large spreading standard size fruit trees are Clapp's Favorite Pear 
not adapted. Not only can these trees serve as useful trees, 
but are extremely decorative as well during the Spring blossoming period. They can be planted 15 feet 
apart, having a spread of 12 feet and every home has room for a group of these attractive fruit trees. Dwarf 
trees come into bearing early; in fact, many of these trees have borne fruit in our nursery.

Improved Dwarfing Stocks 
So far as we know, Maloney Brothers are the first in this country to 
offer fruit trees on the improved dwarfing root stock selected by the 
east Mailing Research Station in England, and propagated and intro¬ 
duced by the New York State Experiment Station at Geneva, N. Y. 
These root stocks are superior to the dwarf stocks used in the past be¬ 
cause they are pure strains. The performance of varieties on these 
stocks can, therefore, be accurately forecast. 
The most dwarfing stock in the group of Mailing types is Mailing IX, 
also known as Jaunne de Metz. A semi-dwarfing stock of good char¬ 
acter is Mailing I, also known as broadleafed English Paradise.
