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 fel- 

 lows 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 ad- 

 ditional advantage that fre- 

 quently they bear 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. 



Finally, two additional ad- 

 vantages present themselves: 

 the fruit yielded by these dwarf 

 trees corresponds in size to the 

 same variety among the stand- 

 ards. The yield per tree, after they come into full 

 bearing, likewise compares well with the yield of 

 standards considering the relative space taken up by 

 the two types; and the fruits of the dwarf trees are 

 ever so much easier to pick than are those of the 

 taller classes. 



Summarizing: The quick production of fruit, the 

 ease of setting these out, the ease of culture, and 

 the ease of gathering the fruit, with no crowding of 

 limited space, constitute the chief advantages of 

 dwarf fruit trees, which we highly recommend. 



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.
