DWARF APPLE AND PEAR TREES 
Come Into Bearing 
the Second Year 
DWARF APPLES AND PEARS 
Dwarf fruit trees solve the problem of 
fruit growing in small areas. They are 
very ornamental for the lawn and garden, 
come into bearing much earlier than the 
standard trees and are very productive. 
The trees never get over 8 or 10 feet high. 
Their low branches are within reach, so 
that the fruit can be easily picked. These 
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 
grow a larger tree. With care, they us- 
ually commence to bear the second year 
after planting, and will bear good crops 
within three or four years. The fruit is 
of the same size and flavor as that borne 
on the standard trees. 
By pruning, Dwarf Fruit Trees can 
easily be trained to grow into interesting 
shapes, such as pyramidal, round or flat, 
against buildings, fences or walls, for 
hedges, or on, lattice like the illustration 
shown on this page. An abundance of 
best quality fruit can be secured in very 
little space, and the small trees be made 
to serve both as producers of choice fruit and attractive ornaments for the lawn. Nearly everyone can find 
room to grow a few dwarf trees in the shape of trellised foundation plantings along the side or rear of the 
house, and in other ways that their flexible manner of growth might suggest. Instructions for training will be 
furnished on request.

HUNGARIAN. You have never tasted more delicious 
fruits than those picked from an Apricot tree growing 
in Northern Ohio. This rare tree was imported in 1914 
from Europe, from that territory along the banks of 
the Danube River. The tree is perfectly hardy. Hav- 
ing attained a height of 30 feet with a spread of 35 
feet, with a stout, rugged trunk, 18 inches in diameter, 
it bespeaks itself of having withstood the trying ele- 
ments of nature. It is unbelievably productive, having 
produced 15 bushels of luscious, pink cheeked Apricots 
in. 1939. No fruit is finer for eating fresh or for can- 
ning and preserving. 

The trees we offer have all been produced from this 
one original, and each possesses all of the same fine 
qualities. You can plant them with confidence that the 
fruit will be enjoyed for many years to come. You 
will also find it a very desirable lawn tree. 
RUSSIAN. A very hardy variety. Hardier than the 
Peach and the fruit ripens a month earlier. Being a 
late bloomer, it is recommended for localities where 
late frosts may damage earlier blooming varieties. Fruit 
medium size and of a golden-salmon color. Good 
quality, fine flavor and freestone, Ripens in July.
