Espalier Trees 
Unique far Their Beauty, 
Utility and Delicious Fruit 
Beautify your home with an orchard growing 
on vines. Fruit trees grow in artistic, vine-like 
patterns against any wall, trellis or fence. They 
yield an abundance of delicious fruit that is often 
larger and richer than fruit from regular trees. 
Developed in Switzerland where garden space is 
limited, these unique trees are now available in 
America and add a distinctive touch of beauty 
to any home or garden. 
These genuine Espalier Fruit Trees are prop- 
agated from true dwarf roots and scions which 
limit their size and growth. They require no more 
care than a small shrub or climbing Rose. Many 
of these 7-year-old trees have a spread of 10 feet 
or more and up to 7 feet high. All are dug with 
a generous ball of earth and for this reason no 
shipping orders can be taken. Delivered any- 
where in Westchester County. 
Not only are there many sizes and styles, but 
many varieties of Appies and Pears. For this 
Spring planting only, they are priced from 
$12.50 to $25.00, each.

“Off-Season”” Work-in THE NURSERY 
MANY people believe that nurseries are very busy in the Spring, some- - 
what busy in the Fall and in a sort of dormancy for the remaining 
months. If that were so, nursery stock would be far from the sturdy 
material you receive. 
As soon as the Spring planting rush abates, all attention is turned to 
cultivating and weeding. To combat this time-consuming chore scienti- 
fically we have done much experimental work with 2-4-D for weed con- 
trol. Evergreen blocks so treated show effective results. 2-4-D applied 
in the Fall discourages Spring weed growth sufficiently so that cultivat- 
ing can be delayed until after the Spring rush. The great savings in 
cultivating costs are reflected in lower prices of plant materials. 
By shearing our plants, we keep them growing full, bushy and sym- 
metrical rather than allowing them to expend their strength in tall, 
spindly growth. 
Spraying makes Rosedale stock disease-resistant and free from 
pests. State and government inspectors have for many years com- 
plimented us on the clean, healthy stock we offer. 
Only by propagating nursery material—making our own cuttings 
of such things as Honeysuckle, Pachysandra, etc.—can we offer you 
such superior, well-rooted, healthy plants at only average rates. 
Vitally important is the transplanting of nursery stock for proper root 
development. Rosedale has always maintained that the most important 
part of the tree is its root system—more important than the top. The 
ideal quality is a proper balance between the two and for this we strive. 
When replanting, plants are widely spaced to encourage free, unre- 
stricted growth. In the old block, holes are filled in, the block is 
cover-cropped and turned under for fertilization. It is then ready 
for replanting with young stock. 
While the first application of fertilizer is made in early Spring, 
further fertilizing is done after transplanting. This fertilizing program 
makes a double contribution to the customers. Not only does sturdier 
stock result but the fertilizers for sale at Rosedale are first used in 
the nurseries. In this way we can judge personally the effectiveness Proper shearing requires training and skill to 
of the fertilizers and the accuracy of the manufacturer’s directions. avoid plant mutilation.
