VI' 
The gardens of the old world, 
especially the smaller places 
where space is lacking, depend 
on Espalier trees for much of 
their more tender varieties of 
fruit. It is a tree which will pro¬ 
duce an abundance of fruit in 
proportion to its trunk and leaf 
growth. 
Economy of space is a second 
virtue of Espalier fruits. They 
ask no more room than a Climb¬ 
ing Rose and, once planted, re¬ 
quire no more care in pruning 
and spraying.
