Trained Fruit Trees 



JUST think how beautiful such a "correct" trained tree 

 ' looks the whole year; in winter the beautiful shapes.

 the development of the leaves, in laie summer and fall 

 they are loaded with the choicest and finest fruit ever 

 seen. These trees are not only 

 ornamental to the grounds and 

 grown for luxury, but also are 

 very thankful for your little 

 attention you gave them during 

 your spare time, in paying back 

 with their abundance of fruit. 



Another great advantage they 

 have over other trees is the small 

 space they require. They need not 

 to be grown only on the wall, they

 Nothing else can decorate your house better and to such a 

 great advantage as these trees, as they are not directly 

 planted on the wall as all ether vines and plants which draw 

 the moisture and thus keep 

 the house damp.

 planted with these trees, if the 

 proper kind of fruit is chosen 

 and then will bear plentifully.

Two Flowering Raspberries 

 Without Prickles 



THERE are at least two members of 

 the raspberry family that are worthless 

 for fruit, but worth cultivating as ornamental 

 shrubs. Both have beautiful flowers, and 

 have none of the spines that are a nuisance in 

 the varieties with edible fruits. Moreover 

 they differ in having simple (not compound) 

 leaves which in outline suggest those of some 

 of the maples. 



The common flowering raspberry of the 

 East (Rubits odoratus) is a soft-wooded 

 shrub, which grows three to six feet high, 

 producing bold and luxuriant masses of 

 foliage, and purple flowers an inch or two 

 across. These look somewhat like single 

 roses. The red fruit (sometimes called 

 thimble berries) art flat and edible, but 

 usually dry and always inferior to ordinary 

 raspberries. This shrub multiplies rapidly 

 and is therefore cheap. Cut out the old 

 wood even r year, just as you should for any 

 ordinary raspberry, or it will spread too 

 much. 



The Rocky Mountain flowering raspberry 

 (Rubits deliciosus) is not likely to become too 

 common, unless simpler methods for its 

 propagation are discovered. It is taller and 

 more graceful than the Eastern species. 

 The canes are perennial, hard-wooded and 

 freely branched. The twigs are rather stiff, 

 but always arching, so that no harsh outlines 

 are presented. The leaves are smaller, 

 rounded, three- to five-lobed; strongly veined 

 and of firm texture. The flowers, which are 

 snowy-white, resemble single roses in size 

 and form, and are disposed over the whole 

 plant. Its foliage effect is charming, and 

 even after its autumn yellow is succeeded by 

 the bare brown twigs the plant is not unat- 

 tractive. The fruit is purple and like a 

 flattened raspberry, sweet but not very 

 palatable; relished by birds and chipmunks. 

 Its home appears to be limited to the canyons 

 of Colorado. It grows along the streams 

 and in shaded gulches, but is quite able to 

 hold its own on a dry rocky hillside exposed 

 to the rays of a rarely clouded sun. It 

 thrives where most other shrubs can grow, 

 and when once established far outranks the 

 majority in ability to withstand drought and 

 exposure and other adverse conditions. 

 It transplants as easily as a rose, and responds 

 equally to liberal treatment, making itself 

 entirely at home under the conditions that 

 prevail in an ordinary garden. In cultivation 

 it sometimes produces semi-double flowers.
