Dwarfed Fruit Trees 
(Descriptions: Same as standard fruits previous page) 
When ordinary varieties of fruit are grafted on special 
dwarfing stocks, the result is a tree whose fruit is as 
large or larger than ordinary, but which never grows 
very tall—perhaps ultimately 12 to 15 feet. Space 12 
feet apart. 
The advantages are three-fold: First, a dwarfed tree 
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 amazing loads of 
fruit. Third, dwarfed fruits (especially Plums and 
Peach) are less liable to borers and other pests.

All three ages are about the same height. (The pruning 
| sketches at left show why). Most are 3 to 4 feet high, 
_ but apples often are still dwarfer. If sold out of size 
ordered we sometimes ship an older at the same price, 
if available, in the rush of the season. 
_ The first spring fruit trees need water, to get started. 
_ The second spring you can feed, to make quick fi 
growth. The third spring you should not feed as x 
over-feeding delays fruiting. You must spray: Con- 
| sult your county agent (or a local orchard). 

. 
... and its results 
Not just one fruit, but several at each 
fruiting spur. And the fruits are each 
larger and will be found to taste better. 


... and bear unbelievable amounts!

Useful Quantities 
Dwarf fruits are not 
short-lived, but thrive 
and produce a gen- 
eration or more. A 
space 25’ square will 
hold 4 dwarfs instead 
of one standard, and 
the 4 will bear about 
14 more fruit than will 
one standard tree — 
and will do it 2 to 4 
years quicker!
