Rare and Choice 
European Varieties 
(DWARF and SEMI-DWARF) 
The following scarce and choice varieties need no introduction 
to the Connoisseur—and, to those acquainted with these ex- 
quisite varieties, the ability to now enjoy them on their own 
grounds, brings the realization and satisfaction of a longing for 
the nostalgic charm they knew on their Forefathers’ Homestead. 
Ever since I came to America, I was imbued with the desire to 
improve and bring the fruit tree situation up to what it can be. 
I was somewhat annoyed why it was not what it should be, until 
I became aware of the marketing ways. My ideal was spurred by 
requests from many of my clients, so that I spent all my time 
and means at my disposal to further Pomology. 
A good nursery on the continent offers the public up to 500 
varieties of either apples or pears and the discriminating gardener 
abroad does not depend on the open fruit markt to furnish him 
with the choicest fruit. Exquisite culinary satisfaction is con- 
sidered the ultimate in refined civilization and I thought it was 
almost an insult to the American public to be deprived of these 
distinctive fruits they could really own. 
These excellent sorts can only be dwarfed by an intricate 
system of grafting which requires one or two additional years 
in developing a sellable young tree. This is one of the main 
reasons why the average nurseryman, overloaded with work, 
was compelled to desist from growing them. 
Fruit grown in the East has all the richness of flavor Euro- 
pean fruit trees offer—while fruit grown in the West, although 
magnificent in appearance is too often tasteless. We have culled 
about 75 varieties of apples and pears that will grow in America, 
mindful of the qualities required. Also, such as the problem for 
the average home owner to keep the fruit for long periods when 
the desire for fruit in winter months makes fruit on the market 
scarce and expensive. 
Developed for charm in your Modern Garden—any selection 
will reflect your good taste.
