OWN FRUIT

You will never know the highest satisfaction of fruit until you 
eat it freshly picked, fully ripened and out of your own yard. The 
home orchard is coming back into popularity; more and more 
people are beginning to realize the value and convenience of the 
home orchard. Then, too people are discovering that a few fruit 
trees in the back yard furnish as much shade and are equally as 
attractive as the ordinary ornamental tree. 
When only a few trees are planted very little of your time is required for the after-care. 
All that is necessary is a pail of water during the dry periods and that the ground is kept 
loose for a radius of two feet. 
Why not save money by growing your own fruit for canning and table use? Five to 
ten trees will give you sufficient fruit for yourself and friends.

In pruning Fruit Trees, cut the side branches to 6-8 inch stubs 
and do not leave more than five to a tree. See that these are dis¬ 
tributed around the trunk. One year trees are simply headed to 
whatever height they are wanted.

PLANTING AND AFTER-CARE OF BERRIES 
Prepare your ground as you would for your vegetables, 
open rows with small horse plow, and space plants two and 
a half to three and a half feet apart. The rows should be 
five feet or wider. Plant about four to five inches deep, 
and cut off tops three inches above the ground. 
As they grow older do not allow too many canes to de¬ 
velop, rather just a few strong canes. Pinch out the tops 
of these, when the tips are soft. Should you prefer to train 
on wires or stakes, thin out the plants to four canes and 
allow tops to develop naturally. 
The brambles are perennials whose old wood dies after 
producing one crop. This wood should be removed as soon 
as through fruiting. These plants have no particular insect 
enemies. 
We suggest that you feed young trees to promote health and 
vigor. Nitrate of Soda, Sulphate of Ammonia, Bone Meal, 
Manures, or similar soil builders applied in moderation often 
spell the difference between success and failure. Strong, vigorous 
trees can stand unfavorable weather conditions, frost and even 
disease. Good soil means early maturity and heavy yields. 
Maloney's Fruit Trees are nationally known for quick bearing.
