APPLES AND CRAB APPLES 
Most varieties of Apples require cross-pollination to insure satisfactory crops. Plant at least 
two different varieties. Baldwin and Rhode Island Greening are the only varieties which bear 
if one of them is planted by itself. However, even these two Apples will bear better crops if 
you plant a second Apple tree for cross-pollination. Plant Standard Apple trees 30 ft. apart, 
Dwarf Apple trees 15 ft. apart. Months after name of variety indicate the time of ripening in 
storage. Each Perl0 Per 100
