Everybody likes home-grown fruit. It tastes 
better and saves so much money. But many 
yards simply are not large enough to permit 
growing the ordinary large fruit trees. After 
years of effort we are now able to offer a full 
line of fruit trees for THE SMALL YARD 
and for the larger yard too, as they are so 
much easier to take care of. These Dwarf 
Trees do not grow any larger than a large 
shrub. They are just as hardy as the larger 
trees. THEY BEAR VERY YOUNG, OF- 
TEN THE NEXT YEAR AFTER PLANT- 
ING. The fruit is generally larger than on the 
big trees. Moreover these Dwarf Fruit Trees 
are ornamental. They have beautiful flowers 
in the spring, the trees are shapely and you 
get the delicious home-ripened fruit besides. 
4 to 5 feet, Not Postpaid. 
Each $2.50, 2 for $4.75 
3 to 4 feet, Postpaid. 
Each 2.25,2 for 4.25 
These grow scarcely taller than your head. 
Fruits even larger than on the regular large- 
growing trees. Often bear the next year after 
planting. Plant two varieties so they can 
cross-pollenize and thus produce more fruit. 
Plant 10 feet apart. 
D 84 Bartlett. The favorite summer pear. It 
does not grow quite as dwarf as the other two. 
D 85 Duchess. This variety does especially 
well as a dwarf, producing giant size delicious 
fruits in the fall. Very fine quality, juicy, ten- 
der. Heavy bearer. 
D 86 Seckel. Called the “Sugar Pear,” be- 
cause it is so sweet and delicious. The fruit is 
not as large as Duchess. Ripens in late sum- 
mer. Heavy bearer. Blight resistant.

These are like the regular peaches except they 
are grown on a special root which makes a 
semi-dwarf tree, about half the normal size. 
The fruits are as large or even larger than the 
regular trees. These dwarf trees start bearing 
generally next year after planting. You can 
have bushels of home-grown, tree-ripened de- 
licious peaches right in your own yard. 
D 70 Polly. Huge, free-stone, the finest qual- 
ity white-meated peach. Hardiest white. 
D7i Red Haven. Early, free-stone, yellow 
meated. Rapidly becoming the most popular 
early peach. 
D 72 Sungold. Huge, free-stone, yellow meat- 
ed of exceptional quality. Hardiest yellow. 
We rate this our finest peach.

D 51 Dwarf Golden Giant (P.P. 1053). 
This is exactly the same as the regular Golden 
Giant on page 16 except it is grown on a spe- 
cial root which dwarfs the growth, making a 
tree about half the size of the regular Golden 
Giant. But the fruit is just as large or even 
larger and the tree starts bearing earlier. 
Bears young, bears heavily and you will not 
know how delicious apricots are until you 
have tasted home-grown, tree-ripened Golden 
Giant. Plant 10 feet apart.

Grown on a special root which makes a semi- 
dwarf tree about half the size of a regular 
plum tree. The fruit is just as large or larger. 
Also these dwarf trees often start bearing the 
next year after planting. Plant more than 1 
variety of plums so they can cross-pollenize 
and thus bear more heavily. 
D 60 Allred. This is a very attractive orna- 
mental tree as the foliage is a striking purple- 
red spring, summer and fall. In the spring it is 
full of red flowers, followed by the large, pur- 
ple-red fruits, free-stone and delicious quality. 
A regular bearer, Hardy to central Iowa. 
D 61 Red Coat. Very hardy. A very heavy, 
annual bearer of large, prune-shaped, bright 
red, free-stone fruits, especially fine for can- 
ning. 
D 62 Stanley. This new prune-type plum is 
rapidly becoming the most popular of all. 
Large, dark-blue, free-stone, with firm, sweet, 
delicious yellow-meated fruits. Hardy to cen- 
tral Iowa. 
D 63 Superior. Very hardy, a tremendous an- 
nual bearer of very large, red plums of deli- 
cious quality. A very good pollenizer for other 
plums.

At last we can offer a hardy dwarf apple tree which grows no larger 
than a large shrub. They start bearing young, often next year after 
planting. The fruit is full size, often even larger than that produced 
on the big trees. You can pick them from the ground. Almost every 
yard has room for at least one of these trees. They are ornamental 
as well as fruitful. You can grow your own apples in your front or 
back yard even if it is small. 
D7 Early Red Bird, best red summer apple. 
D1 Yellow Transparent, popular summer apple. 
D2 Wealthy, popular fall apple. 
D3 Yellow Delicious, America’s favorite yellow apple. 
D 4 Solid Red Delicious, America’s favorite red apple. 
D5 Bright Red Jonathan, the midwest’s favorite. 
D 6 Delcon, new variety originated by the Missouri State Fruit 
Experiment Station. Extremely heavy bearer. The fruit resembles 
the Solid Red Delicious and many think even better flavor. Delcon 
is rather a dwarf tree so by growing it on Clark Dwarfing stock we 
should have a really dwarf tree, more dwarf than the other 5 vari- 
eties. We expect this to become the leading Dwarf Apple.
