This apple tree is only two years old with fruit as heavy as one pound each. You will not need a ladder to pick the 
fruit, for the tree is less than three feet call. 
A RARE TREAT 
from 
SWITZERLAND 
More than 60 years of trial 
and research in Switzer¬ 
land has brought this 
type of fruit tree to perfec¬ 
tion. Through importa¬ 
tion of foundation and 
budding stock from Euro- 
"Palmette” pear tree in training process at our nursery. It is only three years old 
and bears large and delicious fruit. 
pean sources, and several years 
of trial along the lines of accli¬ 
matization, the United States 
Espalier Nursery, Inc., has suc¬ 
ceeded in establishing Espaliers 
in the Pacific Northwest, from 
which center they can be dis¬ 
tributed to all parts of the 
United States. 
Starting with scions of one 
of the select varieties from 
which genuine Espalier trees 
can be produced, it takes from 
seven to eight years of propaga¬ 
tion to produce scions adapt¬ 
able to Espalier training. These 
shoots are grown, then, not on 
the root stocks used for most 
standard fruit varieties, but on 
roots of an entirely different 
character, giving an exception¬ 
ally strong root foundation. The 
combination develops not only 
the tendency to produce fruit 
while the tree is very young, 
but fruit that is large in size, 
better in color, with a superior 
flavor and a meat structure of 
fine quality. 
Espaliers will appeal to grow¬ 
ers who like to care for their 
own gardens as well as to own¬ 
ers of large estates where pro¬ 
fessional gardeners are in charge. 
Complete instructions and illus¬ 
trations concerning the care of 
Espalier fruit trees will be fur¬ 
nished free of charge to all pur¬ 
chasers of our trees.
