DWARF APPLES 
Our Dwarf apples are budded on the new Malling dwarf rootstock introduced in 
this country by the New York State Experiment Station through the efforts of 
Dr. H. B. Tukey. Dwarf apple trees have these advantages over standard trees: 
they fruit early, usually the second or third year after planting; they require little 
space and the fruit is easily picked on these smaller trees; fruit is equal in size and 
often larger than that grown on standard trees. 
It is no longer necessary to wait four to seven years to get fruit. Dwarf trees bear 
quickly with good care. 
We can supply trees budded on Malling No. 1 (Semi-Dwarf) only. Height at 
maturity 10’-15’. Recommended planting distance 15’x15’. 
Prices: 2 yr. 21-31. ft. 5/16 caliper: each $2.75; 3 for $8.00. 
We can supply dwarfs in these kinds only: McIntosh, Double Red Delicious, Cortland, 
Northern Spy, Yellow Delicious. 
When planting dwarf trees set them so that the bud union is about two inches 
above the ground level. Otherwise the trees may become own rooted and lose their 
dwarfing characters. Keep the soil in a high state of fertility by mulching well 
around the trees.
