WELCH'S 
DEPENDABLE 
PEARS 
Pears are so easy to grow—and take so 
little space, because of the upright growth 
of the trees. Two or more trees are best 
for cross-fertilizing, but they need not be 
of the same variety. Have summer eating 
pears and a later one to wrap and keep 
for winter use. 
Prices 
4 to 6 ft, 11/16 inch, $1.50 each, not 
prepaid, 
3 to 4 ft.. 7/16 inch, $1.15 each, post- 
paid,

mer Pear. One of the best for canning

market variety. A Pear of very large, 
fine appearance. Most widely planted

dred years.

summer. Small, rich fruit of high quality.

DWARF 
FRUIT TREES 
Dwart Fruit Trees are the answer to the 
“not-enough-room™” problem. They have 
been bred so that they need very little 
space—10 to 15 feet is enough. They are 
so low growing that you can spray and 
care for them with a small hand gun. The 
fruit is the same as that produced by the 
standard size trees, but much easier to 
pick. They are so attractive in bloom and 
shape that they can be used in your orna- 
mental plantings—and give you the fruit 
you want, too. 
We have these varieties in the Dwarf 
Trees: 
Apple: A717 YELLOW TRANSPARENT 
_ A718 RED DELICIOUS 
A719 JONATHON 
A773 BARTLETT 
A774 SECKEL 
Prices on Dwarf Apple and Pear

postpaid.

HOW TO PLANT YOUR 
NURSERY STOCK 
Do not let the roots become dry. Keep 
them covered at all times with damp sacks 
or something similar. 
Fertile soil, well prepared, is extremely 
important. Spade up the soil as deeply as 
possible. For Roses, Shrubs, Perennials, 
Bulbs, etc., it is well to work in a good 
fertilizer. No fertilizer, however, should 
ever come in direct contact with the roots. 
Proper pruning is most essential. Nip off 
ends of roots with a sharp knife or shears, 
always making a diagonal cut. Cut back 
the tops in the same way. Severe pruning 
of shrubs and Roses often determines suc- 
cess or failure of your planting.
