FRUIT 'DEPARTMENT 
Apple tree in bloom 
Fruits 
Fruits, as a whole, do not greatly involve the or¬ 
namental aspect of the average landscape, since 
very little fruit is grown on the average home- 
grounds. The Tree Fruits are, however, of Major 
Structural importance, and so a brief word regard¬ 
ing them is not out of place. 
Many of the Tree Fruits may be substituted 
for some of the strictly ornamental trees, but in 
so doing care should be taken to see that their 
placing does not detract from the landscape. Many 
of them bear a profusion of beautiful flowers and 
are a distinct addition to the beauty of the home 
landscape, except in the fall, when falling fruits, 
unless promptly tended to, may mar appearances. 
The Small Fruits rarely need consideration from 
an esthetic point of view since they are usually 
in some far corner, hidden from general view by 
enclosure or border plantings.
