EARLY BEARING 



DWARF FRUIT TREES 



APPLES— PEARS 



Dwarf fruit trees are noted for produc- 

 ing heavy crops of fruit at an early age. 

 Trees do not grow as large as the standard 

 type trees. They can be planted 12 to 15 

 feet apart. While dwarf trees are planted 

 in commercial orchards most of the trees 

 sold are for home plantings. You will be 

 pleased with the results obtained from 

 the dwarf varieties of apples and pears 

 offered below.
