CULTIVATION. 
When practicable, the land intended for Apple 
Trees should be deeply worked all over, but if this 
cannot be done, a hole 3 ft. square and 2 to feet 
deep should be prepared lor the reception of eaoh 
tree, care being taken to break up the hard bottom 
and to prevent any of the bad subsoil being 
brought to the surface, or in contact with the roots. 
The undersoil if bad should be taken out altogether, 
and replaced by any good sweet loam that is not 
too rich. When planting, even where the soil has 
been carefully worked over, it is advisable to make 
a hole for each tree somewhat larger than the spread 
of the roots, then throw back into the hole some 
of the soil so aB to form a mound in the centre 
about aa high as the surface of the ground. The 
treo is then placed on the top of the mound, the 
roots carefully spread out, and a little soil worked 
in among them by hand before the bulk of the soil 
is filled in. Care should be taken that the uppermost 
roots are not more than about 3 inches below the 
surface. The soil around the newly-planted tree 
should then be made firm, and if necessary staked, 
and a dressing of farmyard manure subsequently 
applied as a mulch. 
When a tree grows too much wood and in 
consequence bears indifferently, it should either 
be lifted and replanted forthwith, or else root- 
pruned. 
CRABS (Pyrus baccata). 
The following varieties, whioh we oonoider by far the best and most useful, «e excellent for 
making preserves. They are also very pretty as ornamental trees, the bright-coloured fruit* 
hanging in abundance, as they generally do, for a long time In Autumn, being very handsome 
and effective amongst other ornamental trees, shrubs, &o. 
DARTMOUTH. Very handsome dark crimson | JOHN DOWNIE. Bright orison, conical 
fruit; an abundant bearer. Standards, 6/6 fruit of good size mid quality , very 
eac k ’ | handsome. Standards, 6/6 each. 
PEARS. 
Peart should be much more freely grown*than they are. The young tree* oome Into bearii^muoh 
earlier than is generally supposed, especially when worked on the Quince stock. Many of the B v *rietie« 
are exceedingly prolific, whilst the fruit are more valuable than Apples, choice sorts always finding 
a ready sale at good prices. , 
Our Pears are mostly worked on the ordinary pear stock. We can, however, supply in dwarfs 
and pyramids on the quinoe. These come into bearing and profit muoh earlier than those worked 
on the ordinary stock. Specially reoommended to allotment holders or where tenure is uncertain.
