Dwarf Fruits 
A tree whose fruit is as large or larger than ordi- 
nary, but which never grows very tall—perhaps ulti- 
mately 12 to 15 feet. Space 12 feet apart. 
A dwarfed tree can be sprayed, pruned and 
picked by hand without ladders, equipment or pro- 
fessional skill. It bears much earlier in life, in its thirc 
or fourth year at latest—often earlier—and carries 
amazing loads of fruit. Dwarfed fruits (especially 
Plums and Peach) are less liable to borers and other 
pests.

All three ages are about the same height. Most 
are 3 to 4 feet high, but apples often are still dwarfer. 
If extra dwarf apples wanted, specify Malling 9. 
Many fruits do not bear good crops if planted separately. Pol- 
len from nearby trees of different variety is often needed. Noted 
on these pages by: 
e—self-unfruitful. Do not plant by itself, but always with another 
variety of the same fruit.
