DECIDUOUS FRUIT TREES 
In these times, with high prices of fruits and vegetables, as well 
as other commodities, many are turning to home gardening as a 
means of cutting the cost of living. And rightly so, for the quality 
of home grown fruit is much superior to that from the market. 
These few back yard trees add such a glorious touch to the spring 
garden with their handsome blossoms and later with their colorful 
fruits.
