THREE VARIETIES ON ONE TREE 
This year, witli a number'of our most popular fruits, we are offering three varieties 
already grafted on one tree. These trees are fine for small families who use only a 
moderate quantity of any one variety. They are also valuable for those whose 
space is limited, but who want to grow enough different kinds of fruit in their gardens 
to provide a long picking season. Thus if one wants three kinds of peaches ripening 
over a period of several months, but has space for only one tree, our multiple budded 
trees will solve your problem perfectly. The following list comprises only choice 
home orchard varieties.
