The orchard can be made a most attractive part of the farmstead 
if it is carefully located and spaced so it can be easily and frequently 
mowed with a field mower after the trees attain some size. 
Purely ornamental flowering trees are not more beautiful than the 
various fruit trees at blooming time especially if some of the new crabs 
with bright red flowers are mixed in among the pink and white. When 
the fruit is ripening it supplies much color and at that time the orchard 
is again easily the most attractive part of the home planting, and again 
later the fall coloring of some of the fruit trees is as colorful as the 
purely ornamental trees. 
Apple trees should be planted 30 to 40 feet apart. They respond to 
good cultivation, fertilization, and care as freely as does corn or other 
crops. 
If planted in sod as most home orchards are, an area 4 to 5 feet in 
diameter around any young tree should be dug up and kept cultivated 
or well mulched with strawy manure. A new planting in cultivated 
ground can be interplanted with small fruit or garden truck for several 
years. 
Our apples trees are mostly grown from piece root grafts planted 
deeply so they can produce roots above the graft, thus ultimately be- 
coming own rooted trees. These are superior in hardiness to the budded 
trees usually sold. For the very hardiest orchard trees plant Virginia 
or Hibernal grown as described above and top work their branches to 
the better but more tender kinds. Top worked trees on these stocks 
begin bearing younger, are more productive, and dependable than those 
grown otherwise. 
The crop of apple trees this year is much smaller than a year ago, 
and prices higher. 
We suggest ordering the 4 to 5 feet or 3 to 4 feet grade because 
most varieties are in these sizes this year. Make a second choice of 
varieties if any is acceptable or shortages and refunds may be expected.
