tify and bear fruit at the same time! Stern’s brings you exclusively wonderful Dwarf

producing quality. 
Just imagine the path to your home, or your yard or terrace, lined with these amazing, 
GON TS gorgeous trees! In Spring, they're covered with beautiful, fragrant blossoms. As Spring 
Line Paths turns to Summer, the lovely buds swell into colorful fruit—luscious apples and pears— 
and Walks that ripen ‘till you pick them in the Fall. The heavy, thick growth or rich green foliage 
frames the fruit—makes each tree a thing of entrancing beauty through the seasons. 
HOW YOU PLANT STERN’S APPLE AND PEAR HEDGES 
Set each sturdy tree three feet apart to form a “hedge” ... as the foliage grows, it 
intertwines beautifully . . . forming an exquisite decorative hedge from which you pick 
delicious, glorious fruit! They grow to a height of 8 to 10 feet (but can be pruned to any 
height desired)—no trellis or other support is needed. 
WHERE TO PLANT THESE AMAZING DWARF TREES 
Planted separately, each tree is a perfect specimen of graceful beauty .. . a stately 
column of flowers and fruit. Plant single trees in the corner of your property, as living 
gateposts or as a specimen planting on your lawn. Plant them side by side for cool priv- 
acy, as an exquisite flowering “partition” anywhere. You'll find many places around 
your home where these unusual dwarf trees will add beauty and give you the enjoy- 
ment of delicious fresh fruit. 
EXTREMELY RARE IN AMERICA

a garden “conversation piece’’—inspired by gorgeous European estates, they are so unusual, so spec- 
tacular, that your neighbors will stand around them, gazing in amazement. Now you can be one of 
the first in America to exhibit these unique trees. 
EASY CARE—MEANS ABUNDANT FRUIT! 
These magnificent trees are extremely easy to care for. All they require is a little light 
pruning. During June and July when growth is most rapid, the new lateral shoots which 
have developed should be pruned back keeping the side branches trimmed to a length 
of 6-8 inches. If you: desire the branches can be allowed to grow until they mingle with 
those of the neighboring tree—forming a flowering and fruiting “screen.” 
ABSOLUTELY HARDY—GUARANTEED TO LIVE AND BEAR FRUIT! 
These remarkable trees withstand the severest winters of Sweden and Norway. They thrive wherever 
apple and pear trees can be grown. You'll pick big delicious apples—and huge sweet pears within 2 
years—if you plant now. The fruit is as large or larger than standard.
