ESPALIER FRUIT TREES 



/ OU may now have an orchard on your garden or garage wall or along your 

 boundary fence or pathway. An espalier fruit tree is the essential factor. Trees 

 of this type grafted on true dwarf stock are easily kept to their proper form and 

 will bear quantities of fruit on their graceful branches. Espalier or trained fruit 

 trees are used quite extensively in Europe, where they originated, and are rapidly 

 gaining favor in this country. Anyone seeing them growing in an appro- 

 priate location could not help from expressing admiration and the desire of 

 ownership. Almost every home grounds contains some spot in which espalier 

 fruit trees would look well, and be in keeping with the surroundings. Allow us 

 to offer suggestions as to where you may plant them with perfect success.
