Background For 
Flower Garden 
From the magnificent estates of Europe comes this exciting new idea for American homes—exquisite 
“hedges,” "screens," ‘‘fences,”’ ‘partitions,’ ‘wall murals''—that beautify and bear fruit at the same time! 
Stern’s brings you exclusively wonderful Dwarf Vertical Cordon Trees that are remarkable for their striking 
beauty, small size and fruit-producing quality. 
Just imagine the path to your home, or your yard or terrace, lined with these amazing gorgeous trees! 
In spring, they're covered with beautiful, fragrant blossoms. As spring turns to summer, the lovely buds swell 
into colorful fruit—luscious apples and pears—that ripen ‘til you pick them in the fall. The heavy, thick 
growth of rich green foliage frames the fruit—makes each tree a thing of entrancing beauty through the 
ee HOW YOU PLANT STERN’S APPLE AND PEAR HEDGES 
Set each sturdy tree 3 feet apart to form a “hedge” as the foliage grows, it intertwines beauti- 
fully . . . 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 privacy, 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 enjoyment of delicious fresh fruit. 
EXTREMELY RARE IN AMERICA 
Only Stern’s brings you these genuine Dwarf Vertical Cordon Trees. These excitingly beautiful trees are a 
garden “conversation piece’—inspired by gorgeous European estates; they are so unusual, so spectacular, 
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. : ;
