One straight shoot, nearest the center, should be left longer than the others, 
for a leader. These directions apply to the large well branched grades of all fruit trees' 
our methods for the smaller grades of fruit trees are peculiarly adapted to those grades,' 
and we would not think of applying these methods there. 
No other fruit is really of so much importance as the Apple; no other farm crop will 
produce one-fourth as much per acre as a good Apple Orchard. 
DWARF APPLES 
We predict there will be a large demand for these trees by those who wish to produce 
a fine grade of fruit, as soon as their merits become known. We have them upon the 
French Paradise stock which produces a tree five or six feet in height and bears in two or 
three years. We have them also upon the Doucin stock upon which the tree ultimately 
fir? *2 the size of a good sized peach tree, and bears freely at five or six years of age. 
While these have not been fully tested, they promise to be valuable, as spraying and thin- 
ning upon trees of this size, is a simple matter compared with that of large standard trees. 
Varieties and price upon application.
