Snyder Bros. (Inc.), Center Point, Iowa Apples 
APPLES 
The apple orchard can be made a most attractive part of the farm- 
stead if it is carefully located and spaced so it can be easily and fre- 
quently mowed with a field mower after the trees attain some size. 
Purely ornamental flowering trees are not more beautiful than 
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 and where they 
can be conveniently reached for spraying. 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 culti- 
vated or well mulched with strawy manure. A new planting in culti- 
vated ground can be interplanted with small fruit or garden truck 
for several years. 
Our apple trees are mostly grown from piece root grafts planted 
deeply so they can produce roots above the graft, thus ultimately 
becoming own rooted trees. These are superior in hardiness to the 
budded trees usually sold.
