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: 
DWAREF TREES, for Bushes, Pyramids and Espaliers, can be supplied of all pop- 
ular 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. 
Among the many espalier forms for training the Dwarf Apple, none are so simple 
or so beautiful as the horizontal cordon. ‘Trained along the walks of a fruit or kitchen 
garden, they occupy literally no space. The stem is from one and a-half to two feet, 
and each tree has two arms trained on a wire or wooden rail. The most suitable trees. 
for this mode of training are one year from the bud, on Paradise stock.
