FRUIT TREES. 



69 



Fruit Trees and Small 



Fruits. 



The Foi.i.ow iNc; Ren ised List of choice Fruits includes practically all of the finest varieties that 

 have been specially tested and can be recommended for garden or orchard planting, and for growing 

 in fruit houses. 



Good Soil, Proper Prl ning, special care in planting and suitable mulching with all Fruit Trees 

 are important, and well repay this special care in early fruiting and fine quality of fruit. 



All Fruit Trees and Small Fruits being entirely hardy, can, like other Deciduous stock, be 

 safely and advantageously planted at proper time either in autumn or spring. Spring planting for 

 Apricots, Nectarines and Peaches is, however, recommended for exposed situations, especially in 

 the New England States. 



By the Proper Selection ok Varieties, the period of ripening of Apples and Pe.vrs may be ex' 

 tended from mid-summer until late autumn and winter. For immediate fruiting, extra size Fruiting 

 Trees of many of the varieties are supplied at reasonable prices. 



Standard Apples should be planted from 25 to 40 feet apart each way ; Standard Pears, Cher 

 RiES, Plums, Peaches, Apricots, and Nectarines, 15 to 20 feet apart each way ; Quinces, 10 feet 

 apart; Dwarf Apples, 5 or 6 feet apart; Grapes, 6 to lo^feet apart; Blackberries, 5 to 6 feet apart; 

 Currants, Gooseberries and Raspberries, 2 to 4 feet apart. 



Special Prices are quoted on all the leading Fruits and small Fruits by the 100 and 1,000 of dif- 

 ferent sizes, as desired. 



Special Attention is called to the Trained Fruit Trees, page 72, and the best Grape Vines 

 for vineries, page 73.
