Specimen Trees. Amateur cultivators and 

 nursery-men, will often find it convenient to 

 have one or more specimen trees of apples, 

 pears, &c. Twenty to forty or fifty or more 

 varieties, may easily be worked upon a single 

 tree; and one, in this way, may multiply spe- 

 cimens to almost any extent, even upon a 

 small piece of ground. Dwarf pear trees are 

 very pretty for this purpose.
