QUANTITIES 
Every single kind 
offered on these pages 
is suitable throughout 
Northeast America, as 
far north as hardy. 
Dwarf fruits are not 
short-lived, but thrive 
and produce a gene- 
ration or more. A 
space 25 ft. square 
will hold 4 dwarfs in- 
stead of one standard, 
and the 4 will bear 
about 14 more fruit 
than will one standard 
tree—and will do it 
2 to 4 years quicker!

Dwarf Fruits 
A tree whose fruit is as large or larger than 
ordinary, but which never grows very tall—perhaps 
ultimately 12 to 15 feet. Space 12 feet apart. 
A dwarfed tree can be sprayed, pruned and picked 
by hand without ladders, equipment or professional 
skill. It bears much earlier in life, in its third or fourth 
year at latest—ofter earlier—and carries amazing 
loads of fruit. Dwarfed fruits (especially Plums and 
Peach) are less liable to borers and other pests.

All three ages are about the same height. Most 
are 3to4 feet high, but apples often are still dwarfer. 
Planting depth should be so that the graft is just above the 
ground, or an inch above. If too deep the scion develops its 
own roots and tree is no longer dwarf. If too high, rootstock 
suckers. 
Staking is usual, as dwarfs are weak at the graft. We use 
extra strong W-gratt, so stakes can be removed about 5th year. 
Drainage. Air among the roots is essential; 
enables a tree to use food. Drainage must al- 
ways be good in an orchard. 
Pruning. The more leaves left on a tree, the 
likelier it is to bear next year. But let no parallel 
branches lie closer than a foot apart, and re- 
move chafing branches. 
Watering. The supply of water determines 
growth and Fruitfulness—particularly in summer. 
Artificial watering is all right, so a meager 
water-supply can be eked out by cultivation 
or mulching. 
Fertilizing. Overfeeding prevents flowers 
(hence fruit) by forcing all buds to be leaf 
buds. Feed just enough for health.
