FRUITS (0: Food aud Geauty 
With the modern trend toward smaller individual homes and properties, many new home 
owners desire to plant and grow some form of fruit in their limited space. Many have found that 
fruit growing Is interesting and offers a wide range of possibilities. Fruit trees may be used as 
lawn specimens, trained against walls, or for any purpose where a tree Is needed. 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS: 
Fruit of all kinds demands a sunny location, a 
fertile soil, and good drainage. When planting, 
cut each tree back at least one-third on the top 
and sides, and water well. Apply a heavy mulch 
of well-decayed manure each fall, and as the 
trees mature they may be sprayed for the eradi- 
cation of insects.
