Redfield—an apple for the lawn and other ornamental plantings because of 
its large and very dark pink flowers. The fruit is medium in size, dark deep 
solid red in color, with deep red flesh. The foliage is dark with a reddish 
green tinge early in the season. This and Redford are two very desirable 
ornamentals. 
~ Van Eseltine—a beautiful ornamental crab named in honor of the late origi- 
nator. Buds pendulous and red, while open flowers are semi-double and 
pinkish white. 
\ DWARF APPLES 
There has been a great deal of interest in recent years in apples on a size 
controlling root system among home growers as well as commercial apple 
producers. In general the two most outstanding characteristics of trees on 
such stocks are earliness of bearing and a smaller tree which facilitates 
orchard operations, such as pruning, spraying and harvesting. Experimenta- 
tion with some of the dwarfing and semi-dwarfing apple root stocks of the 
East Malling series, as E.M. IX, E.M. VII and E.M. II has shown that the 
combinations of varieties and root stocks listed by us will give satisfactory 
performance. 
The E.M. IX rootstock gives a typical dwarf tree that starts bearing the 
second or third year after planting. Since the root system of E.M. IX is 
brittle, it is recommended that trees on this stock be either supported by a 
stake or a trellis. Trees on this rootstock are best adapted to home gardens. 
The EM. VII and E.M. II rootstocks limit growth of the variety to a lesser 
degree but still hasten bearing. Trees on these stocks can be grown without 
any special support and will reach a size one-third to one-half that of a 
standard tree. E.M. VII has adaptation for the home and commercial orchard, 
whereas E.M. II is highly satisfactory for commercial orchards. 
CHERRIES 
All sweet cherry varieties are self-unfruitful. Two compatible varieties must 
be planted near each other to provide for cross-pollination. Most varieties will 
successfully pollinate the other varieties, but four varieties, viz., Bing, Emperor 
Francis, Lambert and Napoleon will not pollinate each other and must be planted 
with some other variety to insure a fruit set. 
All cherries are propagated on Mazzard stocks.
