We investigate spin and orbital states of the two-orbital Hubbard model on a square lattice by using a variational Monte Carlo method at quarter-filling, i.e., the electron number per site is one. As a variational wave function, we consider a Gutzwiller projected wave function of a mean-field type wave function for a staggered spin and/or orbital ordered state. Then, we evaluate expectation value of energy for the variational wave functions by using the Monte Carlo method and determine the ground state. In the strong Coulomb interaction region, the ground state is the perfect ferromagnetic state with antiferro-orbital (AF-orbital) order. By decreasing the interaction, we find that the disordered state becomes the ground state. Although we have also considered the paramagnetic state with AF-orbital order, i.e., purely orbital ordered state, and partial ferromagnetic states with and without AF-orbital order, they do not become the ground state.
