* ESPALIERS EASY TO CARE FOR * 
All the varieties listed in our catalog are hardy and will thrive well in your 
climate. We grow and train into Espalier forms only those varieties, which, 
after years of experimenting have given us the most satisfactory results. We 
have shipped these lovely trees in large quantities to all parts of the 
United States, Canada, and Mexico. Obviously, there are wide differences in 
both the soil and climate between the states and countries, yet our trees have 
performed magnificently in all instances. Our varieties have been chosen for 
their quality and for their suitability for Espalier training. 
Espalier fruit trees require even less care than other fruit trees. The diffi- 
cult part, the training of Espaliers has already been done by us, and no previous 
knowledge or experience is necessary for you to continue growing them success= 
fully on your grounds. The trees are easy to spray and the fruit can be readily 
harvested. Complete cultural instructions are supplied with each order. 
* ATTRACT ATTENTION THROUGHOUT LONG SEASON * 
These distinctive fruit trees are a never=-failing source of interest from the 
time the pretty blossoms appear in the Spring = until the richly colored fruit 
ripens. In the winter, even then, they are extremely decorative, with their 
lace-like shapely structure. 
* A DIVIDEND PAYING INVESTMENT * 
Aside from their beauty and charm, Espalier fruit trees are a good investment. 
Like vines, they take up practically no room, thus leaving the previous ground 
space available for flowers and vegetables. In Europe, where they have been 
grown for centuries, the primary object is fruit rather than display. They yield 
unusually excellent, large fruit, and of much better flavor than ordinary fruit, 
due to the greater sun exposure penetrating through all the branches, and because 
the trees are grafted onto the proper root system. As the trees grow in size, 
the fruit crops gradually increase, and pay their owners annual dividends in 
fruit of the highest quality. 
* TIME TO PLANT ESPALIER FRUIT TREES * 
Plant Espalier fruit trees in the spring or fall. We highly recommend either 
season as the proper time of year to transplant fruit trees for best results. 
Of course, the earlier you set your trees out -— the sooner you will enjoy the 
many pleasures and profits to be derived from these exquisite trained fruit trees.
