SELECT APPLES. 



Our principal stock of apples consists of the following varieties, Ts-hicli 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 Pavd 

 dise stocks,. We propagate only those varieties which produce large, 'handsome fruit, 

 mostly 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 desirable 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 cordon. Trained along the walks of a fruit or kitchen gar- 

 den, 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 hud, on Paradise stock.
