HOW TO PLANT APPLE TREES 
Set apple trees 25 to 35 feet apart. In setting 
your apple trees, prune them back severely. Each 
year prune injured limbs, those that interfere with 
other limbs, and. those that are growing too high. 
Send for free pruning bulletin. Far northern or- 
ehards do better where trees are grown more in a 
bush form.
