A RARE TREAT 
from Switzerland 
ORE than 60 years of 
trial and research in 
Switzerland has 
brought this type of 
fruit tree to perfection. Through 
importation of foundation and 
budding stock from European 
sources, and several years of trial 
along the lines of acclimatiza¬ 
tion, the United States Espalier 
Nursery, Inc., has succeeded in 
establishing Espaliers in the Pa¬ 
cific Northwest, from which cen¬ 
ter 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 Es¬ 
palier 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, giv¬ 
ing an exceptionally strong root 
foundation. Thecombination de¬ 
velops 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 struc¬ 
ture of fine quality. 
These fascinating Espalier 
fruit trees now available at 
popular prices in Apples, 
Fears, Plums, Prunes, 
(Aierries.
