APPLES. 
The great demand for all Fruit Trees experienced during the past five years, together with the difficulties in working stocks the 
latter part of the war period, have resulted in a shortage for this season of some style of trees, especially Standard Apples, — these 
'are practically unobtainable in the Kingdom. 
We are however able to offer an exceptionally fine stock of Bush, Pyramid, Espalier and Half-Standard Apples, Pears, Plums, 
etc. To enable our customers to select their requirements we have set out the Apples in sections, showing the Varieties of each 
style that we can offer with the prices attached. 
We work our Apples on both the Crab and broad-leaved Paradise Stock, according to the varieties. Dwarf Apples on 
the Paradise Stock are of especial value for garden planting, and have come into favour during recent years. They are much 
•■dwarfer in growth, come into bearing and profit much sooner, are easier to thin and spray, and they produce almost continuously 
abundant crops of much finer fruit. For small holdings, or where the tenure is uncertain, they are specially recommended.
