Tame the Wild Apples 
Top-Graft Wild or Inferior Apple Trees 
Over to Valuable Fruit 
There are thousands of 
seedling Apple Trees grow¬ 
ing wild along fences and 
vacant fields. There are 
thousands more of old trees 
producing small quantities 
of undesirable fruit. These 
trees can be easily top- 
grafted in the spring to one 
or more desirable varieties. 
You can graft several vari¬ 
eties on one tree if you 
wish. 
We can furnish dormant 
grafting cions of the fol¬ 
lowing varieties.

Dwarf fruit trees solve the 
problem of fruit growing in small 
areas. They are very ornamental 
for the lawn and garden, come 
into bearing much earlier than 
the standard trees and are very 
productive. The trees never get 
over 8 or 10 feet high. Their low, 
broad heads are within reach, so 
that the fruit can be easily 
picked. These trees are set 6 to 
8 feet apart and take up so lit¬ 
tle room that they can be planted 
in places where it would be im¬ 
possible to grow a larger tree. 
With care, they usually com¬ 
mence to bear the second year 
after planting, and will bear good 
crops within three or four years. 
The fruit is of the same size and 
flavor as that borne on the 
standard trees. 
By pruning. Dwarf Pear Trees 
can easily be trained to grow into 
interesting shapes, such as pyram¬ 
idal, round or flat, against 
buildings, fences or walls, for 
hedges, or on lattice like the il¬ 
lustration shown on this page. 
An abundance of best quality _ * n -r -r • 
fruit can be secured in very lit- Dwarf Pear Tree Train 
tie space, and the small trees be made to serve both 
as producers of choice fruit and attractive orna¬ 
ments for the lawn. Nearly everyone can find room 
to grow a few dwarf trees 
in the shape of trellised 
foundation plantings 
along the side or rear of 
the house, and in other 
ways that their flexible 
manner of growth might 
suggest. A wonderful pic¬ 
ture is one where the walls 
are embellished with these 
interesting trees which in 
the spring produce their 
beautiful blooms followed 
by their foliage and highly 
celored fruit. 
We can furnish Dwarf 
Pear trees in all of the 
standard varieties offered 
on this page at the fol¬ 
lowing prices.

These apples are known to the nursery trade as apple 
grafts. From selected apple trees healthy branches are cut 
into lengths about 6 inches long and carefully grafted to 
one-year-old apple tree roots. They should make a growth 
of from 2 to 4 feet the first season, and it will take just 
one year longer to produce an apple orchard of bearing 
age from our apple grafts than it will from our standard 
one-year-old trees. We recommend the larger trees to our 
customers who can afford to pay the difference in price, 
but if you can’t afford to buy the older trees, then, by all 
means, add a dollar to your order for this collection and 
get an apple orchard started this year. 
They will be delivered to you at the proper planting 
time, all ready to set out, with complete cultural directions. 
These small apple trees (grafts) are sold only in collections 
consisting of one each of the above 8 varieties for only 
$ 1 , 00 , postpaid.
