DWARF APPLES AND PEARS 
Dwarf fruit trees solve the problem of 
fruit growing in small areas,

come into bearing much earlier than the 
standard trees and are very productive. 
The trees never get over 8 or 10 feet high.

trees are set 6 to 8 feet apart and take 
up so little room that they can be planted — 
in places where it would be impossible to 
With care, they us- 
ually commence to bear the second year 
after planting, and will bear good crops
