The Illustrated Guide for Amateur Gardeners 
APPLES — Select Varieties. 
Our Apples are mostly worked on the ordinary or crab stock. Those marked with an asterisk (*) we can supply in dwarfs on the 
Paradise Stock. These are of dwarfer growth and come into bearing and profit much earlier than those worked on the ordinary 
stock, and are specially recommended to the notice of allotment holders or where the tenure is uncertain. We may say that our 
Dwarf Apples on the Paradise Stock are this season unusually fine.
