Dwarf Fruit Trees. 
These interesting dwarf trees have commercial possibilities, but it is to the amateur and home 
gardener that they appeal especially. Practically every garden offers opportunities for their success- 
ful culture. Where too limited areas are available to make ordinary fruit trees practicable these dwarf 
forms are most acceptable. They can be planted along the garden fence or walls, on either side of the 
garden paths and can be made to add an additional feature to many a flower garden border. Train- 
ing them flat or to special forms is popular with many; others prefer to keep them in natural shaped 
trees, only in miniature. Dwarf trees fruit freely, often after the second year bearing abundantly 
fruits of the largest size and finest quality. {See illustration) . 
Dwarf Fruit Trees, by F. A. Waugh, is a valuable book on this subject which we recom- 
mend. Price 50 cents. With order for dwarf fruit trees amounting to $10.00 we will be pleased 
to include a copy of this book without extra charge.
