 Fruit Growing 



That's what our New Cata- 

 logue may really be considered. 

 Through words and pictures 

 it attempts to impress upon 

 the patriotic gardener the 

 vital needs of growing more 

 fruit and still more fruit. 

 Over half a century's ex- 

 perience in producing fruit 

 trees, a lifetime's exper- 

 ience in studying the rela- 

 tive merit of different va- 

 rieties for the home garden 

 or orchard, come to your 

 assistance through this book. Let it help you decide what to grow in the Fruit garden. 

 While it will prove an equally useful adviser on problems of ornamental plantings, its 

 principal mission, for the present, is to emphasize the importance of growing more 



Fruit as a Food for the Nation 



"Eat fruit and save sugar. Eat nuts and 

 save meat" is the editorial advice in 

 January Garden Magazine. If, in addi- 

 tion, you grow your own fruit, you are 

 serving the country in doubly patriotic 

 fashion. To grow one's own fruit, the 

 garden need not be large. Our catalogue 

 offers Dwarf Fruit Trees of all kinds 

 which yield remarkable crops in small 

 space Then, there are bush fruits and 

 berry plants for growing in beds 

 and along borders. By a judicious ar- 

 rangement, a fairly representative collec- 

 tion of nuts, apples, pears, plums, 

 peaches, and cherries may be grown in a 

 small garden. With each collection of- 

 fered below, we supply a blue print giv- 

 ing explicit directions where to place and 

 how to plant the different trees. 



Nut Trees as a National Asset 



"What finer monument to man's wisdom than 

 stately nut bearing trees!" Easily grown, hardy 

 and enduring nut trees yield regularly increas- 

 ing quantities of valuable food. Our special 

 strains of English Walnut, Black and White 

 (Butternut) Walnuts, Filberts, defy zero clim- 

 ates. We grow every worth-while variety of 

 Nut Trees, so long as it has stood the very ex- 

 acting tests to which we subject everything in 

 our nursery. But this rigorous selection re- 

 lieves the planter of all anxiety. Glen Bros. 

 Hardy Nut Trees come to you true-to-name > 

 healthy, and in vigorous shape for perfect 

 results.
