14 HENRY LEUTHARDT NURSERY 

DWARFER DWARF FRUIT TREES 
Just the trees for your Victory Garden. Whether 
your space is small or large—grow an orchard in your 
yard. Extremely Dwarf trees grow less than half as 
tall as standard size trees—bearing a generous crop of 
bigger, more luscious and richly colored fruit than 
larger trees do. No waiting years for fruit—dwarf 
fruit trees come into bearing very early. As a general 
rule, all dwarf fruit trees are fruit bearing at 3 years, 
with the exception of peaches and nectarines which 
varieties bear at 2 years. Under normal conditions, 
dwarf trees should bear fruit the following planted. 
Leuthardt’s Dwarfer fruit trees are all healthy, 
hardy specimens, carefully chosen and tried for their 
suitability to this country’s soil and climate. It will 
pay you to plant Northern grown fruit trees that have 
proven most satisfactory to growers throughout the 
United States because of the extra strength and hardi- 
ness our rigorous climate develops in them. 
The Dwarf Apple Trees are grafted on Malling 
Stock. Mostly on East Malling No. 9. There are also 
certain varieties grafted on No. 1, 2, 3 or 7, for reasons 
which we found necessary after long years of experi- 
mentation. 
This root stock is the real dwarf understock making 
our trees very dwarf in growth and far superior in 
quality. Our pears are grafted on Quince, Peach, Ap- 
ricot, and Nectarine varieties on Almond; and Plums 
on St. Julien. 
Select and grow the very choicest varieties which 
are neither to be obtained in the stores or never reach 
the markets because due to their very fine qualities they 
cannot be used commercially. Only the Home Owner 
can grow these special varieties and let the fruit stay 
on the trees until they have reached their peak of ripe- 
ness and flavor. Until you can enjoy picking and eat- 
ing, tender, juicy, fully ripe fruit from your backyard— 
you will never know what the real fresh fruit flavor 
is like. 
When you buy a Leuthardt’s Dwarf fruit tree, you 
can rest assured you are dealing with a reliable house 
built through hard work, honesty and fair dealings. 
You will find our stock sturdy, heavy rooted, true to 
name and quality, and free from diseases. Our 18 
years of progress, satisfied customers and repeated orders 
is our guarantee. You will be delighted with our fine 
class of nursery stock.
