SELECT APPLES 



Our principal stock of Apples consists of tlie follo^'ing yarieties, wliicli have been 

 well proved, and can be recommended as the best now in cnltivation. 



DWARF TREES, for Bushes, Pyramids, or Espaliers, can be supplied of all popu- 

 lar and valuable sorts, on Doucin and Paradise stocks. On the latter tbe trees are 

 smaller, more prolific, bear sooner,and are therefore more desii'ablefor 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. 



Tliis is a portrait of a Red Astbachan Apple tree, on paradise stock, about eight years old, in fall bear- 

 ing^, intended to illustrate the foim and appearance of such trees. 



i or Gardens, tiie Paeadise stock makes the most appropriate Dwarf tree, hearing very early, very pro. 

 fuseiy, and giyins fruits of the most beautiful appearance and fine quality. For Orchards of Pyramidal Ap- 

 ple 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.
