DWARF FRUIT TREES 



The only worth- ivhile^^ trees for 

 small gardens 



By the above term, it is not to be inferred that these 

 trees are merely dwarf-trained by severe pruning. 



The Apples and Pears here offered are budded on a 

 special "dwarfing" stock, that has a marvellous property 

 of retarding the terminal growths of the branches, 

 while it quickly and thickly develops fruiting spurs 

 throughout their whole length. It is quite common to 

 see these little trees in our nursery rows, bearing 2 or 3 

 fruits one year from the graft. Though ordinarily their 

 place is in the orchard or vegetable garden, in Europe, 

 one frequently sees them 10-12 feet apart in the flower 

 borders, where, in spring, their blossom- covered branches 

 are a beautiful sight, while later the highly- colored fruits 

 are a pleasing contrast to neighborly flowers. 



What your garden needs is trees that bear, not bar* 

 trees.
