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 Hspaliers, 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. 
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.
