Dear Garden Lover: 
In response to your request, we are pleased to send you information 
concerning "Espalier Dwarf Trained" fruit trees, which you will surely find 
very interesting and valuable. 
Did you ever stop to consider that Espalier Trained fruit trees may 
be "JUST THE THING" your garden needs to give it that touch of perpetual 
beauty and originality? 
Because Espaliers possess beauty — symmetry - and utility, they have 
helped tremendously to solve many garden problems which were puzzling 
Landscape Architects and discriminating garden lovers. You too, not only 
can make your garden even more attractive and distinctive with Espaliers, but 
year after year you will enjoy picking and serving unusually large, luscious 
superior quality fruit from your own garden. 
Look around your property now. You will surely find spots that can 
be beautified with these ideal ornamental fruit trees. 
Seventeen years of research has convinced us that Espaliers can be 
grown successfully in this country's soil and climate with a maximum of 
satisfaction to the owner. Not only do we graft our trees on the finest 
quality understock, but we also use the proper root system in order to insure 
the trees remaining dwarf in habit and retaining their symmetrical shape. 
The average Espalier we offer for sale has been in training for a period of 
six years -— it is the result of years of faithful care and a perfect 
knowledge of the art of pruning and grafting. Ordinary orchard stock does 
not prove successful, as it stubbornly resists any change in its rooted 
habits, and although cut back, the tree Starts shooting upward and outward 
in all directions. The result is not an Espalier. 
The Leuthardt family has been training Espaliers for generations in 
Switzerland. Henry Leuthardt, who was awarded a gold medal by the 
University of Strassburg, for proficiency in the art of training Espaliers, 
has also won honorary mention and awards at various Horticultural Shows 
throughout the United States. Some of his Espalier plantings may be viewed 
at Gardens on Parade, New York World's Fair; George Washington's Home, 
Mount Vernon, Virginia; The Cloisters, Fort Tryon Park, New York, 
Gardens of the Nations, Radio City, New York City. 
Should you desire any additional information or suggestions, please 
write. We shall be glad to give your problem our expert advice and careful 
consideration. We do hope that we may soon include your name on our list as 
one of the many proud possessors of some of these beautiful and original 
Espalier fruit trees. 
Sincerely yours, 
Henry Leuthardt
