Dwarf Trees 



That Bear Big Crops of 

 Large Fruit 



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 gar- 

 den covers at least a quarter of an 

 acre. But with fruit trees whose 

 very nature keeps them dwarf, 

 these space limitations disappear 

 and a half dozen or more of these 

 sturdy little fellows can easily be 

 taken care of in the average subur- 

 ban 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 some- 

 times 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 la6t few years have seen re- 

 markable increase in appreciation of 



A SYMMETRICAL SPECIMEN TREE OF THIS TYPE IS A JOY 

 TO BEHOLD, MOST ANYWHERE. 



A TYPICAL SPECIMEN OF ANGOULEME, SUCH 

 AS YOU MAY GATHER FROM DWARF TREES. 



dwarf fruit trees on the part of home and 

 suburban gardeners. Besides all the rea- 

 sons given in favor of dwarf trees, on this 

 and the following page, there is another 

 most important factor which is respon- 

 sible for this recognition. That factor is 

 neatness. 



If there is one characteristic that the 

 average back yard or suburban gardener 

 prizes more highly than any other about 

 his grounds, it is neatness. That is the 

 only condition tolerable within the limita- 

 tions of small space. And it is their 

 characteristic of fitting neatly into limited 

 space that causes these dwarf fruit trees to 

 be invaluable in the- planning of the back 

 yard and suburban garden. 



Our stock of both dwarf Apple and 

 Pear trees was never better. They are 

 thrifty, healthy stock with clean straight 

 limbs, full of vigor and vitality that hold 

 promise of early returns in form of fruits.
