Fruit Trees and Small Fruits 
A home garden can be made infinitely more interesting and valuable by a 
judicious planting of fruit trees and small fruits; in fact, they are an. economical 
investment that will bring in good returns when established. A few fruit trees ad- 
vantageously placed in the yard, or garden: setting, will add to its beauty. They 
are both very decorative when in bloom and valuable for the fruit they produce later 
in the season, that will repay you generously for the investment. 
A good selection of fruit and berries will supply your own requirements and 
provide an ample surplus from which a splendid revenue can be obtained, if desired; 
or you will be able to please your friends by liberal donations of both fruit and 
berries. 
We have a very good selection to choose from that will be found hardy and 
best suited for this section of the country. 
A grape arbor, properly cared for, is a beautiful sight as well as a profitable 
feature, and a few berry bushes will supply your table with luscious fruit during 
the fruiting season.
