Two Dwarf Fruit Trees Trained in Formal Style 
By pruning, the Dwarf Apple and Dwarf Pear Trees can easily be trained to grow into interesting shapes, such as pyramidal, 
round or flat, against buildings, fences or walls, for hedges, or on lattice like the illustration shown above. An abundance of 
best quality fruit can be secured in very little space, and the small trees be made to serve both as producers of choice fruit 
and attractive ornaments for the lawn. Nearly everyone can find room to grow a few dwarf trees in the shape of trellised founda¬ 
tion plantings along the side or rear of the house, and in other ways that their flexible manner of growth might suggest. A won¬ 
derful picture is one where the walls are embellished with these interesting trees which in the spring produce their bountiful 
blooms followed by their foliage and highly colored fruit. 
DWARF APPLES 
Dwarf Apple Trees solve the problem of fruit growing in small areas. They are 
very ornamental for the lawn and garden, come into bearing much earlier than the 
standard trees and are very productive. The trees never get over 8 or 10 feet high. 
Their low, broad heads are within reach, so that the fruit can be easily picked. These 
trees are set 6 to 8 feet apart and take up so little room that they can be planted 
in places where it would be impossible to grow a larger tree. With care, they usually 
commence to bear the second year after planting, and will bear good crops within 
three or four years. Our dwarf trees bear 4 to 6 bushels of apples per tree, and the 
fruit is of the same size and flavor as that borne on the standard trees.
