NEW HARDY-CLARK DWARF APPLE TREES! 
DEVELOPED BY IOWA STATE COLLEGE, AMES, IOWA 
Grown Gy - THE WHEELOCK WILSON NURSERY 
YOU too can grow apples. No matter if your 
space is limited, you can find room for 
one or several of these new HARDY CLARK DWARF 
apple trees. Hardy and easy to grow, they require 
no more space than a large shrub. 
The only reliable hardy, true dwarf type apple trees, 
that can be grown in the Great Plains area, are those 
grown on the true CLARK DWARFING stock. 
Our method of growing these trees follows the recom- 
mendations of the late Prof. T. J. Maney of Iowa State 
College at Ames, Iowa. It was his idea to graft a 
section of the Clark dwarfing stock on the stem of a 
hardy vigorous variety, such as Virginia Crab, then to 
graft the desired variety, such as Jonathan or Delicious, 
on the Clark stock, thus dwarfing the variety on top. 
This method insures a strong, hardy, vigorous root 
system and, through the influence of the Clark stock, 
the variety grafted on it is dwarfed. 
Varieties grown on the true Clark dwarf stock come 
into bearing when quite young, usually setting some 
fruit buds when growing in the nursery row. 
The fruit is normal to above normal in size on the 
dwarf trees and the shape, color and flavor remain 
the same for the variety. 
From observation, I will suggest that these trees be 
planted ten feet apart. They will vary somewhat in 
the extent to which they are dwarfed, from very dwarf, 
to semi-dwarf and, in some cases, to probably three- 
quarters dwarf, depending on the influence of the soil, 
method of pruning the variety, and the variety itself. 
Also, from observation, I recommend that the Clark 
dwarf apple trees be pruned quite heavily each year. 
Pruning should be largely confined to heading back 
most of the terminal twig growth early in the spring, 
and the removal of all crossing and _ interfering 
branches. 
Each $3.50
