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. 



STANDARD TREES of nearly all the varieties described can be supplied. 



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, mostly summer and autumn kinds. On 

 the Paradise stock the trees are small, prolific, bear early, and are therefore desirable for small gardens or 

 experimental orchards. They can be planted 5 or 6 feet apart, and will bear abundantly the third year after 

 planting.
