SELECT APPLES. 
——__~<+<=->______ 
Our principal stock of Apples consists of the following varieties, which have been well 
proved, and can be recommended as the best now in cultivation. 
DWARF TREES, for Bushes, Pyramids or Espaliers, can be supplied of all popular 
and valuable sorts, on Doucin and Paradise stocks. On the latter the trees are smaller, 
more prolific, bear sooner, and are therefore more desirable for small gardens. ‘They can 
be planted 4 or 5 feet apart, and will bear abundantly the second year after planting. 
Where large pyramidal trees or low standards are wanted, the Doucin stock is preferable.

DWARF APPLE TREE. 
This is a portrait of a Rep ASTRACAN Apple tree, on Paradise stock, about eight years old, in full bearing, 
intended to illustrate the form and appearance of such trees. 
For Gardens, the PARADISE stock makes the most appropriate Dwarf tree, bearing very early, very pro- 
fusely, and giving fruits of the most beautiful appearance and fine quality. For Orchards of Pyramidal Apple 
trees or Dwarf Standards, the DoucIn is preferable, but trees on it do not bear much sooner than on the free 
stock, unless judiciously pruned. ; : 
Those who desire a fine assortment of Dwarf Apples will always do well to leave the selection to us, as we 
are then able to send those varieties which are most advantageously grown in this way.
