RAISING FRUIT TREES

Fig. 48.— Why Not Haptole Fruit Trees? Don't let the slogan be merdy 

 "Plan to Plant Another Tree;" add to it "Another Fruit Tree." Without consider- 

 ing the value of the fruit, what»could be more desirable as a shade or flowering 

 tree? The country florist in particular should encourage fruit-tree planting 



Plant Cherries and Plums or Peaches in with the stock for an ir- 

 regular border of shrubs along the lot lines. Even if they bear 

 fruit fit to eat notoftener than one year in every five or six, they 

 look as weU as any other tall-growing foliage shrub and are beautiful 

 when in bloom.
