Dwarf Fruit Trees 
When ordinary varieties of fruit are grafted on special 
dwarting stocks, the result is a tree whose fruit is as 
large or larger than ordinary, but which never grows 
very large—perhaps ultimately 12 to 15 feet, but not 
over 10 feet in the first decade or so. 
The advantages are three-fold: First, a dwarf can be 
sprayed, pruned and picked by hand without ladders, 
equipment or professional skill. Second, the tree bears 
much earlier in life, in its third or fourth year at 
latest—often earlier—and carries unbelievable loads 
of fruit. Third, dwarfed fruits (especially Plums and 
Peach) are less liable to borers and other pests. 
The stocks we use to graft apples are true Malling varieties, 
but some kinds do best with more and some with less-dwarting 
stocks. So with pears, peaches, plums, apricots: The most 
practical stock for the particular fruit being grafted is chosen. 
The result is, we think, the best dwarf trees available at any 

a price.

Dwarf Espalier Fruits 
For centuries they have been well known in Europe. In 
full sunlight, each individual fruit gets its share. Even if 
such trees were not ornamental, they would be note- 
worthy for fruit alone. But they are beautiful—clean-cut 
form and healthy young side growth—something new 
and different. Use them instead of vines aaginst the 
house; train them along wire fences to add beauty and 
interest.
