goods cannot be produced at lower rates. Mr. Elliott well 
says : ' ' The extremely low prices made by some plantsmen, 
in their great inducements and amazing offers, preclude all 
possibility of their furnishing trees and plants of the best 
quality." Cheap trees seldom fail to be dear in the end. 
Thousands of trees and shrubs are planted annually which 
we would not accept as a gift ; tit stock only for the brush 
heap, on which no gardener would waste his time.

APPLE TREES. 
Walter Pease. This very large and beautiful deep red 
Apple is now offered for the first time. The trees are quite 
productive, and when loaded with .Apples are very showy, 
even more so than the Baldwin. The frtiit also attracts the 
attention of buyers by its size and color. Its flavor is mild, 
rich and aromatic, and though ripe in September, it may be 
kept until midwinter. We regard it as a much better Apple 
in quality than the Gravenstein, and more profitable to grow 
for market. A very large grower of fruits, in an address to 
the Hampden Harvest Ci.uh, said, " it is the best Apple in 
the world." Even then we waited untif we saw the orchard 
in bearing before procuring the buds and growing the trees 
for market. Our stock of this variety is limited. While it 
lasts we offer it at very moderate prices. Trees 5 to 7 feet 
high, $1 each, 6 trees for fc. 
Meriden, Conn. — The flavor of the Apples you sent me is splendid, 
and so say several of my sliop-mates. How many trees can you fur- 
nish, and at what price? 
Answer, — Every man who has claimed to have the Walter Pease 
Apple, when lie has tasted the fruit, has invariably recanted and owned 
up. You will be doing your neiftlibors a faN'or by scllinf? them this 
excellent Apple. The scions, which can be cut from the tops are worth 
more than the cost of the trees. The high value we place upon it is 
shown by our works, having budded one-third of all our apple stocks 
with this variety.
