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 and Espaliers, can be supplied of several sorts on 

 Paradise stocks. We propagate only those varieties which produce large, handsome 

 fruit, mostlj' summer and autumn kinds; a list of varieties furnished on application. 

 On the Paradise stock the trees are small, prolific, bear early, and are therefore desira- 

 ble for small gardens, or experimental orchards. They can be planted 5 or 6 feet apart, 

 and will bear abundantly the second year after planting. 



Among the many espalier forms for training the Dwarf Apple, none are so simple 

 or so beautiful as the horizontal cordori. 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.
