Santa Fe, New Mexico. Oct. 20, 1913. 
Dear Mr. Green: 
I accepted your advice twelve years ago and planted a hedge of dwarf pear trees 
around my garden. They have lived and have been bearing fruit abundantly every year. 
I would not take $1,000 for these 120 dwarf pear trees, plahted on cither side for sunshine 
and ventilation. Chas. A. Sirixoo. 
THE DWARF 
PEAR HEDGE 
PLENTY OF FRUIT, SMALL 
COST, TAKES UP LITTLE 
ROOM 
Our C. A. Green has dis¬ 
covered the dwarf pear hedge. 
He found it by noticing that 
dwarf pear trees in the nursery 
row, standing three feet apart 
bore beautiful specimens of pears 
bountifully for many years. Mr. 
Green planted twelve years ago 
a row of dwarf pear trees, each 
three feet apart, running across 
the center of his vegetable 
garden. These little pear trees 
have thrived amazingly and 
have borne bountiful crops each 
year, and in blossom and fruit 
have attracted wide attention. 
For such a hedge C. A. Green 
advises the following varieties of 
dwarf pears:
