FRUIT TREES 
Even a small city plot can produce Apples like these by planting our Dwarf Fruit Trees 
TRAINED AND DWARF FRUIT TREES 
This valuable class of fruit trees is very much appre- 
ciated and in general use in Europe. There is hardly a 
garden or small yard without one or more of these dwarf 
fruit trees, and many a fence or wall has been made 
attractive looking and useful by the planting of trained 
fruit trees. 
They can be grown with equal success in American 
gardens, and, while the demand for them is steadily 
increasing, they should be much more extensively grown, 
especially for planting in small city or suburban lots. 
Pyramidal or bush-shaped Apple and Pear trees are 
especially easy to grow and care for. They require 
very little room yet bear an abundance of fruit of the 
very highest quality. Our three- to five-year-old, strong, 
well-grown trees, with plenty of fruiting spurs, usually 
blossom the first year after planting. The blossoms, 
however, should be removed and the trees not allowed 
to bear till the second year. Being low and bushy, the 
trees are not difficult to prune and spray, and it is an 
easy matter to harvest the fruit. 
Our trained fruit trees in espalier, or fan shape, arc 
ready to bear fruit, and when properly placed, can easily 
be kept in proper shape by systematic pruning and 
training. 
We are equipped to plan, supply the stock, and plant 
complete dwarf fruit-gardens, and shall be pleased to 
confer with interested persons. 
DWARF APPLES 
Budded or grafted on special roots and trained into well-shaped pyra- 
mids or bushes, they are of easy culture and bear, as a rule, t lie second 
year after planting. The fruit in size and flavor is often superior to that 
of the standard Apples. On account of the dwarf stock on which they 
are grown, the roots do not spread far, but concentrate directly around 
the stem, responding immediately to liberal cultivating and fertilizing. 
We have nearly all the listed varieties in Dwarfs; also a few 
European sorts of special merit, such as Glory of Boskoop, Prince 
Apple and Konigin Apple.

DWARF PEARS 
FRUIT TREES 
Special care has been taken in selecting only the hardiest and best va- 
rieties particularly adapted to grow and yield in this section of the coun- 
try. Every home ground, small or large, should have some fruit. We call 
particular attention to our specialty, Dwarf Fruit Trees, so well suited for 
small gardens and even the smallest city lot, because they take very little 
room and bear at once. 
We have also many other varieties not listed here, and shall be glad 
to quote prices on large quantities.
