FAN-SHAPED ESPALIER TREES ; 
Until recently, Espalier Fruit Trees were grown chiefly 
in European gardens and only a few Americans used 
them as landscape features. Today, however, more 
American gardeners are realizing the advantages of 
growing this type of fruit tree for the utilization of space 
that might otherwise be wasted. 
Fan-Shaped Espalier trees make a beautiful decoration 
_for the sides of your home or garage. They need no 
more room or care than a Climbing Rose, are a never 
ending point of interest, and will supply your table with delicious fruit. 

They grow 10 to 12 ft. tall, and they generally begin to produce fruit the second year. 
Any home having a wall which has been neglected can now turn that portion of the 
home ground into a little orchard with but very little expense. 
Plant Peach Espalier trees along walls facing south or east, Plum Espalier trees facing 
east or west, Cherry Espalier trees facing west or north. 
Fan-Shaped Espalier trees are easy to care for. Directions are included in every ship- 
ment. 
Our supply is limited. Please order early if Espalier trees are on your planting list. 
BEARING-AGE STANDARD FRUIT TREES 
These are wonderful trees; many of them have already fruited in the nursery. 
Please note, however, that they must become established in their new location in your 
garden before they bear again. Generally they begin to fruit the second year. 
Their present height is 6 to 8 ft. Some are even taller, while a few slow growing 
varieties such as Seckel Pear, Sour Cherries, and some of the Plums sometimes are 
a few inches shorter. As a general rule such slow growers are extremely early 
bearers. . 
Only varieties marked “BA” can be supplied in Bearing-Age trees. 
BEST SIZES AND GRADES OF FRUIT TREES TO PLANT 
Our experience leads us to advise you to plant only the best grades. It pays better to 
plant a few large trees instead of twice as many small inferior trees. 
Fruit trees are an investment for decades, and sometimes for generations. The pur- 
chase price of a fruit tree does not mean much when you realize that 1 or 2 bushels of 
fruit will pay for it.
