Dwarf Trees Best for the Garden 
T HE object of a garden is to furnish the members 
of the family a succession of different fruits for 
different purposes and at different seasons. Room, 
therefore, is the important problem. Dwarf trees only 
solve this problem because you can plant io times as 
many dwarfs as standards in same space. 
Dwarf trees also produce many years earlier than 
standards. You get quick results — as quick as one year 
with some varieties. Illustration shows second year 
planted. 
Dwarf trees have many other advantages; greater 
ease in spraying, pruning, thinning and picking; you can 
train them to grow in any form desired; less damage 
from wind; and best of all, better fruit. 
Dwarf fruit trees and Van Dusen Nurseries are in- 
separable. Make your garden of Van Dusen Dwarfs — 
the successful and leading kind. Get a start this year, 
if only an experiment. If you have only 15 x 25 feet of 
space, try this Van Dusen 1917 “Dwarf Trial Collec- 
tion”: Dwarf Wealthy Apple Tree, Dwarf Yellow Trans- 
parent Apple, Dwarf Seckel Pear Tree, Dwarf Mont- 
morency Cherry Tree, Dwarf Japan Plum Tree, 
and Dwarf Peach Tree.

Nut 
Trees 
for Pleasure 
and for Profit 
Few trees equal the various types of nut trees in 
beauty as shade trees around the home. With 
graceful growth and majestic spread they combine 
a hardiness and an endurance that braves the cen- 
turies. Moreover, they yield each year increasing 
quantities of the most toothsome delicacies. Withal, 
nut trees are easily maintained. Properly started, 
they require little attention in after years, while each year 
added to their life increases the value of the grounds, the 
trees and the crops. If you have room for but few trees, 
let those be nut trees. If you have ample space, you could 
not plantanythingbettertobecomeavaluable asset in future.
