Miscellaneous Fruit Trees, &c. 
The large and steadily increasing demand for 
all kinds of choice Fruit Trees, Sic., furnishes a 
sure indication that good English-grown fruit is, 
year by year, becoming more appreciated, and it 
is clearly shown by the splendid samples being 
brought to our markets and sold at highly 
remunerative prices, that by planting only really 
choice varieties, and with good cultivation, Apples, 
Fears, and other fruits can be grown in this 
country of a size, flavour, and quality altogether 
surpassing those of foreign production.

tlio selection is left to us, customers may rely on only the best sorts being sent. 
Wherever space in the garden will admit, fruit of some kind 
should be grown, as apart from its great usefulness in point of 
domestic economy, its great valuo as a health agent cannot be fairly 
over-estimated where it is freely used in the household. 
For small gardens such compact-growing fruits as dwarf or 
pyramid Apples and Pears, Gooseberries, Currants, Raspberries, and 
Strawberries are the most useful, and where there is a good south 
wall a Vine or Peach should be planted, whilst a wall with a westerly 
aspect will do well for Cherries or Pears, and a north wall is well 
suited for Currants. In planting in the garden be careful to plant 
at such a distance apart that, the plants get the full benefit of light 
and air, the result of ovor-crowding being but too often barrenness 
or inferior quality. 
In very dry weather young fruit-bearing trees of Apples, Pears, 
Plums, &c., are much benefited by a liberal supply of water, which 
promotes a healthy growth and prevents cracking of the fruit. 
Dwarf or pyramid trees are also rendered more fruitful by being 
partially lifted every other year and having the roots slightly pruned. 
The various stocks of choice Fruit Trees wo offer include all 
the best varieties of their respective kinds in cultivation. The 
plants will bo found well grown, strong, and healthy, with abundant 
fibrous roots, and in the best possible state for removal. 
The prices quoted per dozen for Apples, Pears, Gooseberries, 
Currants, &c., are for our own selection of kinds, and are governed 
principally by the size and strength of the plants supplied. When

NEW APPLE— Beauty of Bath. 
This flue new early Dessert Apple, on account of its earliness, extremely handsome appearance, good flavour, and free cropping 
qualities, will eventually, both for market purposes and private use, take the leading place among first early Apples. 
The “ Beauty of Bath” is fit for use at the end of July and early part of August. It immediately follows the Juneating, 
and is earlier than the Irish Peach, from which it is quite distinct The fruit is of medium size, round and flattened, the ground 
colour a yellowish green, beautifully striped and spotted with crimson toward the sun ; the flesh is firm and pale yellow, and it 
has a brisk, sub-acid flavour far superior to that of other early apples. It is a certain and free cropper. Our stock trees have 
not failed once during the last six years, and it will on this account be a valuable market variety.
