All the above are valuable, either as full or as half-standards 

 for planting in orchards, or in parks or shrubberies for ornamental 

 purposes. They are likewise suitable for home consumption or 

 for the market, and the great majority will produce fruit sufficiently 

 large and handsome for the exhibition table. Thirty feet apart 

 each way is a suitable 

 distance between the 

 trees. 



Diuarj or Bush- Trees. 

 ■ — For the private garden 

 or for market purposes 

 the dwarf or bush Apple- 

 tree is one of the best 

 and most profitable 

 forms that can be 

 planted when worked 

 upon the English Para- 

 dise stock. The Crab 

 is also a good stock on 

 light soils, but, taking 

 all kinds of soil, 

 whether heavy or light, Fig. 634.— Apple Wealthy. 



our experience is 



strongly in favour of the English Paradise for all dwarf- 

 growing Apple-trees. Such trees produce heavy crops of large 

 handsome fruit if adequately supplied with manure when fruiting, 

 and they will continue in a productive state for many years 

 when properly managed. It should be remembered that this 

 Paradise stock makes a mass of fibrous roots in a limited 

 area ; consequently it is essential to success that the trees be 

 liberally manured when cropping heavily. When thus treated, 

 either in a small garden or in a large plantation, the results 

 will be most satisfactory, not only in the good crops of fruit, 

 but also in the health and vigour of the trees.
