1. They bear bigger, better fruit ; come into bearing several years 

 earlier, and produce more fruit from the space than standard size 

 trees. 



2. They are easy to care for, because the heads are so low that 

 insect pests can be controlled. Picking is easy because the fruit is 

 within reach. 



3. With dwarf trees, you can use the laud for vegetables, as the 

 shade is less dense. 



You can have forty trees, with a variety, in a space 20 feet 

 square, save several years, get better fruit, and each tree should 

 bear a bushel a year. 



We offer the best stock ever produced in this country. Our apples 

 are grafted on Paradise stock, and the pears on quince stock. They 

 will succeed in many places where standard trees would fail. 



To secure full season's growth, order at once for Fall plant- 

 ing. Our Illustrated Booklet including descriptions of Varieties 

 and Cultural Directions sent on request.

The Passing of the 

 Idle Rich 



'I know 

 society ; 

 I have 

 lived my 

 life in it. 



By FREDERICK TOWNSEND MARTIN 



ERE is a book by a man prominent 

 in social circles both in this coun- 

 try and abroad. His approach to 

 the subject is not that of the profes- 

 sional muck-raker; he sees 

 those tendencies and under- 

 currents which make the 

 mere outward show and 

 superficial extravagance a 

 sure sign of great social 

 changes. 



C,Mr. Martin t lis the truth 

 about the follies and the 

 absurdities of the idle rich; 

 but he clearly indicates 

 that some rich people are 

 not happy in their circum- 

 stances and are setting 

 about to change them.
