ESPALIER TRAINED DWARF FRUIT TREES 
Distinctive — Practical — Decorative 
Trained Fruit Trees should have a place in every garden, and we are sure 
many gardeners will welcome our offer of these trees at this time. It is a simple 
matter to erect a "post and wire" fence to which they may be lightly tied or 
to a "wired wall/' which is accomplished by driving wall hooks into the wall 
at intervals of 1 foot each way, leaving 4-5 inches protruding, to which the 
galvanized wires are horizontally attached. The "leaders" of the trees are care¬ 
fully tied to the wires by "figure of eight" loops of tarred twine or heavy raffia, 
which allows limited leeway and prevents chaffing. Trained trees should be 
planted 12 to 15 inches from a wall to allow for fruit development. 
* 
Beware of cheap espalier trees, for if they are offered at materially less 
than our prices they cannot be dwarfs but are ordinary orchard trees trained, 
and they cannot be kept down to the confined space no matter what you do. 
Trained trees enable the owners of small properties to utilize wall space 
which might otherwise be wasted. The side of a building fence may thus be 
made to produce surprisingly large crops of choice apples, pears, peaches, 
cherries and even nectarines. Only three years are required ordinarily for these 
trees to reach the bearing age, and, apart from their practical value, they lend 
a touch of the "old world" to the garden which is seen all too rarely in this 
country.

to espalier work and the high quality of fruit. Under each espalier form we list
