CARE NEEDED FOR ESPALIERS 
Ten to twelve feet is the maximum height 
to which the true dwarf Espaliers will grow. 
Little pruning is needed—beyond keeping 
the small new spurs from reaching 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. 
SEE THESE PEARS! 
Go to your fancy grocer 
and try to buy better—or 
as good! Each Espalier 
grown fruits develps in 
sun and air and is far su¬ 
perior to ordinary fruit. 
Long known in Europe— 
now available in America.
