DWARF-TRAINED ESPALIER FRUIT TREES 
A Luxury of the Wealthy Now Within the Reach of All 
D 
WARF-TRAINED Espalier Fruit Trees are not a novelty, they have been perfected through 
centuries of Old World garden craft. They scarcely take up any room. You can grow 
flowers right up to their very feet. When trained on walls, they cast no additional shade but 
allow the sunshine to pour into your garden. There is room in the smallest garden for at least 
a few of these miniature orchards, trained on fences or trellises or against the side of the house 
or other building. 
Attract Attention Throughout Long Season 
Espalier Fruit Trees are fascinating from the time the first pink of the flower buds show in 
the spring until the ripe fine fruit has been harvested. At flowering time, the walls are a bower 
of beauty; and again in the fall when the large, rich, highly colored fruit ripens. The fruit is 
much finer and larger than when grown in the usual way. 
Espalier Fruit Trees Pay Big Dividends 
In Europe, where these trees have been grown for centuries, 
the primary object is fruit rather than display. The severe prun¬ 
ing that they have received to bring them to their present form 
is just what is needed to make the trees bear highly colored, 
large-sized fruit in great quantities. As the trees grow in size, 
the fruit crops increase. Espalier Fruit Trees often live for 75 
years or more, paying their owners annual dividends in fruit of the 
highest quality. 
Bearing Age Trees—Completely Trained 
The trees I will ship you this fall are all ready to bear fruit. 
They will give you beautiful blossoms in the spring, followed by 
large, luscious, juicy fruit. 
These trees are completely trained into the forms desired. They 
require only an annual pruning to keep them in proper shape and 
require little care.
