6o FRUIT FARMING 



12. Lord Grosvenor — Very compact grower, suited 

 for plantation and orchard ; fruit conical, whitish 

 yellow, produced in bunches, so that it requires 

 thinning ; succeeds in lands where Lord SufHeld 

 fails. This Apple pays for high culture and comes to 

 profit quicker than any. September. 



13. Grenadier — A great improvement on Keswick 

 Codlin, a free bearer, of upright growth, fruit flat and 

 angular, greenish yellow, tree hardy and robust. 

 Stores well, and grows to a large size on bushes. 

 September. 



14. Stirling Castle — This bears too freely to form 

 a standard, but is valuable for a plantation. Fruit 

 shining greenish yellow, of perfect globular shape, 

 never fails to bear, and requires severe thinning : 

 compact grower, can be planted 8-ft. apart. August — 

 September. 



15. Warner's King— a monster, bearing freely ; tree 

 vigorous and spreading, of very distinct growth, fruit 

 flat oblate, smooth and clear, greenish yellow, requires 

 warm soil. End September. 



The whole of these Apples succeed as pyramids or 

 bushes on the Paradise stock, and produce very freelv. 

 Such dwarf trees are worthy of extensive cultivation, 

 the fruit comes particularly handsome ; after the 

 first few years the trees require but little pruning, all 

 that is needed being to regulate their growth. When 

 heavily cropped, mulch tin- trees tVoily the end of 

 May with long fresh straw manure In planting 

 these Apples upon the Paradise stoik, it is important 

 to get them upon the " broad-lcaxcd Paradise," and 

 to plant them so that the junction of stock and 

 scion is 3-in. below the surface of the soil. I hoy 

 should be jjlantcil ij-ft. apart.
