DWARF APPLES © 
Dwarf apples are becoming more 
popular every year and rightfully so. 
They require so little space that two 
trees can be planted where there 
would be scarcely room for one stand- 
ard apple tree. They start bearing in 
two or three years after planting. ‘he 
fruit is usually a little larger and col- 
ors better than on a standard tree. It 
can be picked easily from the ground 
without a ladder and trees are easy to 
prune and spray. Production is heavy 
for the size of the trees. 
We can supply dwarf apples budded 
on two Malling Stocks. Malling No. 
IX and Malling No. 1. Malling IX is 
the very dwarfing stock which _pro- 
duces a.very small tree — 8-10 feet at 
maturity. Malling No. 1 is a sem1- 
dwarfing root stock and the trees bud- 
ded on this stock reach 15-18 feet 
when full grown. These heights at 
maturity given here may vary some 
due to difference in soil conditions. 
As an instance showing the value of 
dwarf trees we would like to state the 
case of the Northern Spy apple. ‘This 
fine variety, to our mind the best 
quality of all apples for the North 
East, is very late coming into bearing. 
Standard trees usually require from 8 
@ to 12 years or longer before fruit is

about one third of the time required for a standard tree. From this it is very 
evident that the extra original cost of the tree is paid for many times over.

For those with limited budgets we suggest planting our small size dwarf trees. 
Because we have these in good supply we have priced them low but they are very 
nice little trees and will come along and produce well but may take a year longer.
