FRUITS FOR THE HOME GARDEN 
Only when you pick your own sun-ripened fruit directly from the trees and plants can you 
enjoy its full, delicious flavor. Not everyone has space to plant an orchard of standard fruit 
trees, but almost everyone has room for a few berry plants and two or three dwarf apple or 
pear trees. Plums and peaches require only slightly more space. Don’t overlook the fact that 
fruit trees are ornamental as well as productive. 
STANDARD APPLES 
Dates following descriptions indicate when the fruit 
is at its best. Two varieties should be planted for 
proper pollination. 2 year, 11/16 caliper, $1.50 each; 
10 or more of the same variety at $1.35 each.
