Paradise Stock Dwarf Apple 
Dwarf Apples 
There are two species of dwarf apples, those 
"rafted upon Doucin roots and those upon 
French Paradise roots. Those upon Douein 
grow to the size of a good large peach tree, 
they bear earlier than the standard trees and, 
while they may not produce so much fruit 
per acre as standards, the size of the trees 
enables the grower to care for the trees and 
fruit in a manner not possible with standards 
and grow a strictly fancy grade that is always 
in demand at fancy prices. 
Trees upon French Paradise are very much 
more dwarf in habit than those upon Doucin, 
and are valuable only for those who have 
limited space and want a variety of fancy 
fruit in a short time. They may be planted 
6 or 8 ft. apart, and frequently begin to bear 
the second year from bud in nursery or the 
second year "from transplanting. They require 
liberal culture which they repay by produc- 
ing bountiful crops.
