A Rare Treat from Switzerland 
More than 60 years of trial and research in Switzerland has brought this type 
of fruit tree to perfect on. 1 hrough importation of foundation and budding 
stock from European sources, and several years of trial along the lines of 
acclimatization, the United States Espalier Nursery, Inc., has succeeded in 
establishing Espaliers in the Pacific Northwest, from which center they can 
be distributed 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 propagation 
to produce scions adaptable 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 exceptionally 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 growers who like to care for their own gardens as well as 
to owners of large estates uhere professional gardeners are in charge. Complete instructions 
and illustrations concerning the care of Espalier fruit trees will be furnished free of 
charge to all purchasers of our trees.
