MAKE YOUR GARDEN MORE BEAUTIFUL WITH 
PRACTICAL ESPALIERS 
“A Luxury of the Wealthy Now Within Reach of All” 
Dwarf Espalier Fruit Trees were devised by clever European 
Horticulturists to make the most of limited space otherwise wasted. 
For centuries, the Old World castles and estates have relied on 
Espalier trees for decoration, symmetry and utility. These intrigu- 
ing Espalier forms are the result of traditional Old World Charms 
combined with modern American needs and uses. It remained for 
Henry Leuthardt, America’s Pioneer Espalier Specialist, whose 
family has been training Espaliers for generations in Switzerland, 
to develop these exquisite trees suitable for this country’s soil 
and conditions. 
At the age of 13, he served his apprenticeship under Old World 
master gardeners. He studied the science of botany at European 
universities and was awarded a medal by the University of Stras- 
bourg for proficiency in the art of training Espalier fruit trees. 
Coming to the United States, Henry Letuhardt devoted his I'fe 
work in growing and training Espaliers. He has won honorary 
mention and awards at various Horticultural shows throughout the 
country. Some of his plantings have been viewed at Gardens on 
Parade, New York World’s Fair; George Washington's Home, 
Mount Vernon, Virginia; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 
Fort Tryon Park, New York; and Gardens of the Nations, Radio 
City New York City. 

Some of the Medals awarded Henry Leuthardt for 
perfection in the art of training Espalier Fruit Trees.
