low-growing — easy to pick —full size fruit 
Everybody likes home-grown fruit. It tastes better and saves so much 
money. But many yards simply are not large enough to permit grow- 
ing the ordinary large fruit trees. After years of effort we are now 
able to offer dwarf 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 grow but little larger thana large shrub. They are just 
as hardy as the larger trees) THEY BEAR VERY YOUNG, OF- 
TEN THE NEXT YEAR AFTER PLANTING. The fruit is gen- 
erally 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. 
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 8 to 10 feet apart.

Allow these Dwarf Cherries to grow branched low to the ground, 
giving you more fruit and it can be picked from the ground. Gen- 
erally start bearing next year after planting. The trees themselves 
are attractive enough with their foliage, flowers and fruit to plant 
most anywhere in your yard. Plant 6 to 8 feet apart. 
D56 Dwarfmont. This is the regular Montmorency, most popular 
of all cherries, grown by a special dwarfing process whereby the 
tree should be scarcely half the regular size. But the fruit will be 
large, often larger than on the large trees. Just as attractive and 
fine flavor. You will be able to pick most, if not all, of the fruit 
right from the ground. Introduced by us last spring 1953 and is 
exclusive with Inter-State.

D 55 Dwarfrich. A new variety selected by Dr. A. C. Hildreth of 
the U.S.D.A. Cheyenne Field Station. It makes a very bushy 
dwarf tree 5 to 6 feet tall and almost as wide. The fruit is bright 
red color, fine flavor, medium size and ripens a few days after 
Montmorency. Extremely hardy. Makes a very attractive tree 
even without the fruit. In early spring, it is a solid mass of white 
flowers.

FULL SIZE FRUIT, 
EASY TO PICK 
Dwark Apple Trees. 
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. Our Dwarf Apples are grown on the 
Clark Stock which is hardy up to northern Iowa, far hardier than 
the Malling stocks generally used for dwarfing. Plant them 8 to 10 
feet apart. Shipped postpaid and trimmed ready for planting. 
D7 Early Red Bird, best red early summer apple. 
D9 Beacon, our best mid-summer red apple. 
D1 Yellow Transparent, best yellow summer apple. 
D2 Wealthy, popular fall apple. 
D8 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 red apple. 
D6 Delcon, new variety, extremely heavy bearer. The fruit resem- 
bles the Solid Red Delicious and many think even better flavor. 
Delcon itself is a semi-dwarf tree so by growing it on Clark Dwarf- 
ing stock we should have a dwarf tree, more dwarf than the other 
varieties. 
D10 Dolgo. Our most popular crab now in dwarf form. You not 
only get fine jelly fruit, bright red in color, but a low-growing attrac- 
tive ornamental tree, a mass of white flowers in spring.
