Center Point, Iowa Apples 
APPLES 
The apple orchard can be made a very 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. 
Fruit trees in bloom are just as ornamental as other flowering trees 
especially if some of the new crabs with bright red flowers are mixed 
in among the pink and white of the other trees, And nothing is much 
more beautiful than apple trees laden with red and yellow fruit at har- 
vest time. 
Apple trees should be planted 30 to 40 feet apart and where they 
can be conveniently reached for spraying. They respond to good culti- 
vation, fertilization ,and care as much as does corn or other crops. They 
can be planted in sod if an area of 4 to 5 feet in diameter around the 
tree is dug up and kept cultivated or mulched with strawy manure. A 
new planting can be interplanted to small fruit or garden truck for sev- 
eral years. 
Our apple 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 bud- 
ded trees usually sold.
