Fruit Fall Planted 
GAINS 6 MONTHS ~ 
Any fruit listed here can be fall 
planted. Just leave a mound of dirt 
around the base of the tree until 
spring to prevent heaving. In very 
cold climates, bury the stock in a 
trench, top and all, and mound dirt 
over the trench to shed water. When 
dug for spring planting, they will be 
in a beautifully fresh condition. 
Remember, it is often’ the last of 
October before fruit trees become 
dormant enough to dig in our nurs- 
eries, So don’t expect delivery before 
that time. You can plant fruit trees 
any time up until the ground freezes 
too deep to open up. 
SO 
Pears are very heavy 
bearers, and they’re 
such beautiful trees you 
can plant them on the 
lawn.
