PEARS—Zone V 
(Pyrus communis) 
Pears prove one of the most delicious 
fruits, if you are located where you can 
grow them. There is always a market for 
pears and their production rarely satis¬ 
fies the demand. 
Unlike other fruits, pears should not 
be allowed to ripen on the tree, bu? 
should be picked green and stored in a 
dark, cool place where they can ripen 
perfectly.

CHERRIES—Zone IV-V 
There are few more desirable fruits 
than this fruit. There is always a brisk 
demand for good cherries. Aside from 
their fruit value, cherry trees are very 
ornamental for the lawn.

Fruit Aristocrats—Dwarfed Espaliers PA^^I 
Go to your fancy grocer and ask for the most perfect fruit he carries 
—it will be about one-half the size of a properly grown Espalier Fruit! 
It will not be as juicy and full of flavor! These facts are instantly proved 
to you when you see your first ripe 
fruit on an Espalier Dwarf Fruit 
Tree. For centuries they have been 
well known in Europe. 
The trees here offered will never 
reach a height of more than 10 or 
12 feet—the fruit ripens in full 
sunlight, each individual fruit gets 
its share. Even if such trees were 
not ornamental, they would be note¬ 
worthy for fruit alone. But they 
are beautiful—clean-cut form and 
healthy young side growth—some¬ 
thing new and different. Use them 
instead of vines against the house: 
train them along wire fences to 
add beauty and interest. Easy to 
grow; beautiful in flower, leaf and 
fruit; what more can be asked 
from a small tree? 
PRICES include packing. Weight 
30 to 100 pounds each. Freight 
charges collect.

CARE NEEDED FOR ESPALIERS 
Ten to twelve feet is the maximum 
height to which true dwarf Espaliers will 
grow. Little pruning is needed—beyond 
keeping the small new spurs from reach¬ 
ing more than six inches outside of the 
main stems. When a spur has borne it 
will continue to bear. Pick the stem with 
the fruit. 
Peaches are an exception: fruit grows 
only on last season’s wood. Keep two 
spurs coming at every four inch interval 
along the stem. In March, prune one 
back and let the other fruit. Then, when 
fruited, cut it back and from the other 
by then there should be two new ones 
for the following year’s crop. 
Watering and fertilizing are unneces¬ 
sary except in very poor soil indeed. 
Spray for disease as with any fruit tree. 
In planting against a wall, place the 
tree six inches away and allow 18 inches 
root space—requiring a space in all two 
feet out from the wall. 
Every tree offered has already 
borne fruit in the nursery.
