Deciduous FRUIT TREES 
In these times, with high prices of fruits and vegetables, as well as other commodities, 
many are turning to home gardening as a means of cutting the cost of living. And 
rightly so, for the quality of home grown fruit is much superior to that from the 
market. These few back yard trees add a glorious touch to the spring garden with their 
handsome blossoms and later with their colorful fruits. For commercial plantings ask 
for quotations and varieties not listed here. 
Trees are priced bare root at about $1.75 each, depending on size and variety.
