Marsh's FRUIT TREES for home planting 
Utility and beauty characterize the home orchard. In spring you 
can depend on the beautiful transformation of bare twigs to myriads 
of colorful blooms to enjoy in the garden. As these go the healthy 
green foliage provides shade throughout the summer for play areas 
and the fruit, of course, the main feature for which you planted trees 
comes in great variety. Whether you have only space for one tree 
or space for several you will want the best kinds for your garden.
