$1.00 to $1.50 each 



With warm spring sun, you'll just hanker to plant something; 

 and the first place you'll think of will be that empty space 

 in your garden. Our dwarfed fruit trees, fresh-dug and re- 

 set on your place, will make your fruit-garden dreams come 

 true. Three or four summers after planting the dwarf trees 

 will be fruiting.

Planted 7 years 



These trees not only fruit very quickly, but may be planted as close as 

 ten or twelve feet apart; and though the trees are dwarfed, the fruit is 

 generally finer and larger! 



The following reports show what dwarf trees are doing: 32 peaches from 

 a tree planted two years, 75 peaches the following year: nearly a bushel of 

 Elberta peaches from a four year tree; two and one half bushels of Stay- 

 man Winesap apples from a tree planted five years; one barrel of Mcintosh 

 apples from a tree planted seven years; one four year quince matured 12 

 large fruits, the largest 14 ounces, besides 20 thinned out before maturity; 

 14 Bartlett pears from a three year tree; one and a half bushels of Clapp 

 pears from a tree planted five years. 



WHICH WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE? 



Four Kinds or Nine Kinds? 



Ordinary Trees or Dwarf Trees? 



Two Unsolicited Testimonials 



"This season all of my dwarf apple trees were a great success. As people 

 were walking along we overheard them discussing how such apples could 

 grow on bushes and some of them came to us to ask if they were really 

 apples. Truly the little trees were a sight. Winter Banana, Bismark, 

 Twenty Ounce, etc., were so loaded with large and beautiful fruit, that I 

 had to brace nearly every limb." 



"The dwarf Japan Dream peach you sold me in 1918 had 32 peaches last 



year, 75 this year — and the dwarf Champion peach has 44 fruits this year."
