BUY HARDY STOCK 
Bailey’s Apple trees are three years old and of 
varieties found to be best suited to conditions in 
the north central states. The trees are grafted on 
roots grown especially to give you the hardy stock 
that is needed in this region. Experience has 
shown that they will withstand severe cold and 
extended drouth. 
ONE TREE OR AN ORCHARD 
Plant an Apple tree in your home landscape. It 
will not only provide shade but beauty and fruit 
as well. 
A good supply of trees is available for orchard- 
ists. Bailey's recommend that you make the most 
efficient use of your soil by spacing the permanent 
trees in your orchard approximately 30 feet apart 
with temporary “filler” trees in the center of each 
square. In this way you can plant 96 trees to the 
acre, 48 permanent trees and 48 slow growing but 
early bearing “‘fillers” such as Haralson or Duchess. 
Fillers can be removed before they crowd the per- 
manent trees.
