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 i^ropagate only those varieties lohich 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 

 abvmdantly the third year after planting. Price of dwarf trees, 50c each. A list of the varieties of 

 Dwarf Apples we can supply will be furnished on application.
