Espeliers Completely Trained 
Easy to Care For 
All our varieties are carefully selected for their 
hardiness and suitability for Espalier training. They 
will thrive well in any exposure whether east, west, 
south or north, providing they receive five hours of 
intense sunshine daily. Fruit trees need sun to bear. If 
trees get sun from 10 A. M. on, it is sufficient—but, do 
not plant a tree in a location that receives sun until 
10 A. M. only, for it is not enough. Espalier fruit trees 
require even less care than other fruit trees. The difficult 
part, the training of Espaliers has already been done by 
us, and no previous knowledge or experience is necessary 
for you to continue growing them successfully on your 
grounds. ‘he trees are easy to spray and the fruit can 
be readily harvested. 
A tree that has been espaliered attains its permanent 
pattern and the owner should refrain bending the main 
structure into his own design. Vertical type Espaliers 
will not expand in spread, but will continue to grow in 
height. 
Horizontal types will continue their spread, but 
making additional height depends upon the nature of 
the tree. 
Fan Shaped Espaliers will grow in spread and height, 
but desirable size may be obtained by pruning. 
Attract Attention Throughout Long Season 
These distinctive fruit trees are a never-failing source 
of interest from the time the pretty blossoms appear in 
the Spring—until the richly colored fruit ripens. In 
the winter, even then, they are extremely decorative. 
with their lace-like shapely structure. 
Espaliers A Dividend Paying 
Investment 
Aside from their beauty and charm, Espalier fruit 
trees are a good investment. Like vines, they take up 
practically no room, thus leaving the precious ground 
space available for flowers and vegetables. In Europe, 
where they have been grown for centuries, the primary 
object is fruit rather than display. They yield unusually 
excellent, large sized fruit, and of much better flavor 
than ordinary fruit, due to the greater sun exposure 
penetrating through all the branches and because the 
trees are grafted onto the proper understock. As 
the trees grow in size, the fruit crops gradually increase, 
and pay their owners annual dividends in fruit of the 
highest quality.
