Dear Client: 
The demand for my Espalier fruit trees this summer was the largest ever — 
almost a 100% increase over last year. Nearly five thousand gardens were 
beautified this season with my latest types of trained fruit trees. Dozens 
of customers have written me lately to tell how these trees have won the 
admiration of their friends and also to report on the delicious fruits which 
have been obtained. 
Knowing that you, too, will want your house and garden to be even more 
attractive next year, I am writing you to suggest that you consider placing 
your order now for the Leuthardt Espalier fruit trees. 
To obtain the best results that will make you even more proud of your garden 
next year, you must select and plant your trees now. Experienced tree 
growers, everywhere, urge and recommend planting of trees in October, 
instead of in the Spring. Here are the advantages of Fall planting: 
It permits the tree to establish itself readily, thus assuring blossoms 
and fruits the following year. 
Fall planting guards against violent Spring heat, which sometimes kills 
or ruins appearance. Spring planting puts the natural beauty and 
blossoms back at least one year. When planted in the Fall, a tree 
as though it had not been transplanted. 
Due to the increasing demand for Espalier trees, there is 
every indication that prices will be higher next Spring. 
By making your plans now, you will, by planting in October, 
save money, have a better selection to choose from, and be 
assured of healthy, fruit-bearing trees next Spring. 
The low prices of Espalier trees, established this Summer, 
as shown in the attached catalog, will be continued in 
effect through October and November. Picture how your gar¬ 
den will look next Spring — then order your Espalier trees 
at once and have your dreams come true. 
Very sincerely yours, 
"carries on,"
