Dwarf Fruit Trees Bearing Standard 



Size Fruits 



Bearing a big crop of large fruit on a very 

 small tree means that the dwarf fruit tree opens 

 up a wide avenue of opportunity for his own 

 fruits to the owner who has but a limited amount 

 of space. Spaced about the city or suburban 

 lot, at from eight to ten feet apart, they per- 

 mit of the enjoyment of fruit, and yet leave 

 room for flowers, walks, grass, etc. 



Bearing in some cases the same year planted, 

 they frequently present good fruit the second 

 year. In considering this, bear in mind that 

 the larger growing Standard trees seldom start 

 bearing before having been planted from four 

 CO eight years. 



We can not emphasize too much the fact that 

 these trees are dwarf in size only. They bear 

 a large crop of full sized fruit, and in con- 

 nection with landscaping, are very neat, com- 

 pact and symmetrical trees. 



We present a stock and an assortment of va- 

 rieties of Dwarf Apple and Pear Trees that is 

 unexcelled. 



It would seem that these sturdy little trees 

 have a host of reasons to govern your choice 

 and confidence in them. The yield per tree, 

 when the amount of space they oc- 

 cupied is considered, is as good, and 

 in some cases better than that of 

 standard trees. The fruit of the dwarf 

 tree is much easier to pick, and the tree 

 itself easier to care for, cultivate and 

 prune. 



Our stock of both Dwarf Apple and 

 Pear trees was never better. They art 

 thrifty, healthy stock with clean 

 straight limbs, full of vigor and vitality 

 that hold promise of 

 early returns in form of 

 fruits.
