Dwarf Fruit Trees 
It is not necessary to have an acre or two of ground or even a large lot to enjoy 
home grown fruits. These special Armstrong dwarf pears and apples make it 
possible for you to pick luscious juicy pears and crisp apples, tree-ripened and 
brimful of vitamins right from your own trees. And—the apples and pears you 
get will be just as large and just as well-flavored and beautifully colored as if 
you had a whole orchard of full size trees. By using special understocks and a 
double budding operation, these pear and apple trees will remain small through- 
out their lifetime, seldom exceeding a height of 8 feet.

Bartlett Pear 
Dwarf Pears 
Although small in stature, these trees are giants in performance. Generally, they come 
into bearing much sooner than standard pear trees and you can depend upon a large 
crop every year. For best results, two varieties should be planted together for cross- 
pollination. Either variety, ¥ inch caliper and up, $3.75 each, postpaid. 
Bartlett the standard of comparison for pears everywhere. Rosy-cheeked fruit 
with richly flavored, buttery, melting flesh. Beurre d’Anjou should be planted with it 
for cross-pollination. C315,

or market. Tender, sweet and juicy, famous for its rich flavor. €320. 
Dwarf Apples 
A special dwarfing stock developed at one of our Midwestern universities enables us 
to grow these little apple trees which bear heavily every year. The quality of the 
fruit is fully equal to that grown on a regular tree, but you can have several, even on 
a city lot. Either variety, 3/s-inch caliper and up, $3.75 each, postpaid. 
Delicious Large conical fruits of bright shining red with crisp fine-grained flesh, 
sweet and juicy. One of the country’s most famous apples. C300.

Here in California at least, this new variety recently developed by hybridists 
of the University of California is proving to be one of the very finest of all 
noneverbearing types because the uniform berries are highly colored and have 
a superb flavor. Bears early, ripens evenly and keeps well. Excellent for all 
purposes, home, market or freezing. 
C280—25 for $1.50, 100 for $4.50, 1000 for $32.50.
