Dwarf Trees 



That Bear Big Crop^ of 

 Large Fruit 



BARTLETT, ONE 

 OF THE BEST 

 YIELDERS AND 

 FINEST 

 FLAVORED SORTS 



Here's great news for those who feel 

 that their gardens are too small to hold 

 fruit trees. Ordinarily we would say- 

 that this holds true unless the garden 

 covers at least a quarter of an acre. But 

 with fruit trees whose very nature keeps 

 them dwarf, these space limitations dis- 

 appear and a half dozen or more of these 

 sturdy little fellows can easily be taken 

 care of in the average suburban back 

 yard, with enough space in between to 

 grow lots of berry plants or flowers. 



These dwarf trees may be planted 

 eight to ten feet apart each way and 

 they have the additional advantage of 

 frequently bearing the very next year 

 after being planted (and sometimes the 

 very same year that they are planted), 

 while regular standard trees generally 

 do not come into bearing until from 

 four to eight years later. 



The last few years have seen remark- 

 able increase in appreciation of Dwarf 

 Fruit Trees of all kinds. You will find 

 our assortment of varieties named below 

 to be exceptionally fine.

Your plants are the best I have ever received

 the country. It was only by chance at our Garden

 for the find. — F. Franzmann, Brooklyn, N. Y. 



PEARS 



Standard {Not Dwarf) Varieties 



Pear trees should be planted about 20 feet 

 apart each way. 



ANGOULEME (Duchess)— Highly esteemed 

 not only because of the superb fruits it bears, 

 but also because the trees make a beautiful and 

 symmetrical pyramidal growth which causes 

 them to be quite ornamental. The fruits are of 

 magnificent size, rather irregularly shaped at 

 times, but always of most delightful flavor. 



ANJOU — Late autumn. Green with red 

 cheek; high quality, juicy and melting; strong- 

 growing tree, prolific. 



BARTLETT — Summer. Yellow; the most 

 widely grown and the most popular of all va- 

 rieties. Does best when grown in sod. 



CLAPP'S FAVORITE— Early Summer. Green 

 with red cheek; large, juicy, melting prolific; 

 decays quickly when ripe. 



DOUGLAS PEAR— A delicious new pear 

 which bears most profusely in the late fall. A 

 blight-free pear, and a pear which bears at an 

 earlier age than any other. Ranks with the 

 best in flavor, shape, size and color. Sturdy, 

 two=year=old trees, each, $2.00; dozen, $20.00. 



KIEFFER— Autumn. Yellow with red cheek ; 

 coarse grained and of rather inferior quality, 

 though it can be kept until midwinter, and when 

 thoroughly ripe is very good. Perhaps the 

 most extensively grown of all winter varieties. 



SECKEL— Very proHfic. Though rather 

 small, it is of extremely high quality. Ripens 

 in late summer and is a dull red with much 

 russet. Considered by many the acme of per- 

 fection in pear quality. 



First=class two= and three=year-old trees 

 each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00 (except as otherwise 

 noted).
