72 DWARF FRUIT TREES 



Practically all varieties of apples can be grown as 

 dwarfs, though some succeed on Paradise roots better 

 than others. Some varieties also are better adapted 

 for special forms, as for cordons, than are others. 

 Such requirements are not very strict, and a careful 

 gardener can grow practically anything he wants to. 

 Patrick Barry, in his "Fruit Garden," recommends 

 '/twenty very large and beautiful sorts for dwarfs," 

 having in mind American conditions, and especially 

 his own experience in Rochester, N. Y. His list is 

 as follows: 



Red Astrachan Porter 



Large Sweet Bough Menagere 



Primate Red Bietigheimer 



Beauty of Kent Bailey Sweet 



Alexander Canada Reinette 



Duchess of Oldenburg Northern Spy 



Fall Pippin Mother 



Williams' Favorite King of Tompkins County 



Gravenstein Twenty Ounce 



Hawthornden Wagener 



Maiden's Blush 



In Europe, where greater attention has been paid 

 to these matters, the opinion has settled down to a 

 comparatively limited number. For example, Mr. 

 George Bunyard in 'The Fruit Garden" recommends 

 the following varieties for cordons: 



Mr. Gladstone . . . Aug. Mother Oct. 



Devonshire Quarrenden Aug. Calville Rouge Precoce . Oct. 



James Grieve . . . Sept. Cox's Orange Pippin 



Wealthy Oct. Oct., Feb. 



Margil Oct. St. Edmund's Pippin . Nov. 



King of Pippins . . Oct. Ross Nonpareil . . Nov.
