You Can Have An Ideal Fruit Garden 



Right in your own yard. Whether you have room for two trees or twenty, 

 you can make your home orchard actually pay big returns in luscious fruit. 



Europeans have taught us how to get the most out of small garden plots and 

 now we can enjoy the fruit from several kinds of trees where only one was 

 possible before. 



ADVANTAGES OF PLANTING DWARF TREES 



You can space them only twelve feet apart. Nine dwarfs require only the 

 room of four ordinary trees. They are grown more easily and auickly- and pro- 

 duce fruit much sooner. They also reauire less work.

 A Customer Writes: 



"This season all of my dwarf apple trees were a 

 great success. Truly the little trees were a sight — 

 were so loaded with large and beautiful fhrit, that I 

 had to brace nearly every limb." 



GROWN ON DWARFING ROOTS 



These trees are dwarfed by propagating on roots which have a dwarf habit of 

 growth, and which impart this dwarf habit of growth to the tree. No tree so 

 grown will ever attain the size of ordinary trees. They can be planted ten or 

 twelve feet apart, and most of them begin fruiting from two to four years after 

 planting. 



HOW DWARF TREES BEAR 



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 Stayman 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 Olapp pears from a tree planted five years.
