Very Rare! Stern’s Dwarf Vertical 
‘CORDON TREES 
Apples and Pears in Stately Columns of Flowers and Fruit 
We believe that Stern's is the only nursery featuring these rare Dwarf 
Vertical Cordon Trees. From the magnificent estates of Europe come these most 
exciting ornamental fruit trees. These rare beauties require a minimum of 
space. Plant only 3 feet apart—-you can grow 20 trees lining both sides of a 
short 30-foot walk! 
Flowering Apple and Pear Hedges 
Just imagine the path to your home, or yard or terrace lined with a living 
fence of beautiful flowers and fruit. Use these rare trees for exquisite 5-foot high 
hedges; screens, fences, partitions—to make your outdoor living room a source 
of unending enjoyment. We guarantee that these trees will retain their dwarf- 
ing habit—will not grow higher than 6 to 8 feet! Stern’s makes this guarantee 
because these amazing trees are budded on a special imported rootstock which 
was developed especially for these dwarf trees! 
Enjoy big Apples and Pears next year! Stern's Dwarf Vertical Cordon Trees 
usually bear the next year after planting. The number of Apples you will pick 
will amaze you. 
Extremely hardy. Easy to grow, they thrive in any average soil. Require no

ORANGE QUINCE 
For Prize-Winning Jelly, Jam and Marmalade 
This tree, which seldom grows more than 6 to 8 
feet high, is covered with large pink and silver 
blossoms every spring. Produces bushels of bright 
golden yellow fruit, so highly prized for their lus- 
cious, tantalizing, zesty flavor. This unusual tree 
is self-fruiting. One tree planted by itself will yield 
excellent crops year after year! Will bear the 
second year planted.
