Dear Friend and Customer: 
1 am very pleased to send you this catalog. 
In the text and pictures, it will give you the factual 
details about these most interesting and practical Dwarf 
and Espalier Trained Fruit trees. A careful reading will, 
I am sure, make you want to have some in your garden. 
The growing of fruit trees in the Home Garden has 
become of great importance today. Fruit prices have 
increased considerably. Every home owner asks himself, 
“Why can’t I grow my own fruit?” 
You can—but buying and planting fruit trees is just 
the preliminary step. You can grow Dwarf fruit trees 
the easy and successful way, if you remember to pick a 
good location, make the right choice of trees, plant them 
properly, and care for them. Then, you are bound to 
enjoy the pleasures, profits and wonderful advantages 
these highly tested Dwarf trees offer. 
I have devoted a lifetime specializing exclusively in 
Dwarf Fruit Trees. At my start, I had the inherited 
experience of a long line of Swiss ancestors who have 
excelled in the propagation of fruit trees. After consult- 
ing diverse Experimental Stations here and in the East, 
West and Mid-W est, and, combining my 25 years experi- 
ence in this country, I have succeeded in raising only 
those varteties which can be successfully grown by the 
home gardener in this country’s climate, and, 1 can say 
that every statement in the catalog is made in good faith 
and with conviction of its truth, in which National and 
State Agricultural Experimental Stations support. 
Naturally we are in business to make a living. In all 
sincerity, we will not sell you any trees if we have the 
slightest suspicion you have no chance of success. All my 
customers, who have come into personal contact with 
me, will vouch for this. Our business is not of an easy 
nature—it involves hard work, a large amount of know- 
ledge, and an investment which is not justified by its 
income—but, my whole heart ts in growing these Dwarf 
trees to perfection. 
In conclusion, let me say that I take a personal interest 
in seeing that each of my customers has complete satis- 
faction, and gains a Fruitful new interest in his garden. 
If you have a problem, please feel free to consult me 
for advice. My candid opinion will help you to gain the 
full advantage of my 40 years of knowledge in this 
field, extensive resources, sound policies, plus my an- 
cestors’ experience. These facts are your best assurance 
of lasting satisfaction. 
We thank you for your valued inquiry. We also thank 
all our good customers who have cooperated whole- 
heartedly to make our business progressive. 
Very truly yours, 
HENRY LEUTHARDT
