FRUIT TREES 
FRUIT TREES FOR 
ORCHARD AMD GARDEN 
Fresh fruit is always desirable for the table; therefore, it is good policy 
to have a few fruit trees in the garden. A few Apple, Peach, Pear, or 
Cherry trees do not cost very much and they bear luscious fruit that you 
will like. Grapes are another fruit that should be on the home grounds, 
because the vine is ornamental, and the fruit is healthful. The trees 
given in our lists are extra strong and are well suited for nearly all 
localities.
