Fruit Department. 
F RUIT growing on a commercial scale is one of the country’s profitable industries. No part 
of our great country offers a better opportunity to grow high flavored and beautiful ap¬ 
pearing fruits than New England. In the same way the home acre, j^es, even the small 
city garden can be made to return crops of fruits well worth all the labor they required. There 
is also the genuine pleasure and delight many of us get and more would if they only knew 
what they are missing, in watching trees grow. One’s interest is kept at the top notch from 
the blossoming time, when fruit trees are bowers of floral grace ard beauty, until the ripening 
colors appear and in the full maturity we have the actual luscious fruits of our watchfulness and 
care, not only beautiful, but sure to delight the palate and contribute to the true economy of 
the household. 
Dwarf Fruit Trees. 
These interesting dwarf trees have commercial possibilities, but it is to the amateur 
and home gardener that they appeal especially. Practically every garden offers oppor¬ 
tunities for their successful culture. Where too limited areas are available to make or- 
dmary fruit trees practicable these dwarf forms are most acceptable. They can be 
planted along the garden fence or walls, on either side of the garden paths and can be 
made to add an additional feature to many a flower garden border. Training them flat 
01 to special forms is popular with many; others prefer to keep them in natural shaped 
tiees, only in miniature. Dwarf trees fruit freely, often after the second year, bearing 
abundantly fruits of the largest size and finest quality. (See illustration). 
Dwarf Fruit Trees, by F. A. Waugh, is a valuable book on this subject which 
we recommend. Price 50 -cents. With order for dwarf fruit trees amounting to $10.00 
we will be pleased to include a copy cf this book without extra charge.
