THE FLORAL WORLD AND GARDEN GUIDE. 
than to plant a tree of any particular kind, and after it has been 
growing in tlie garden several years to find it to be something else. 
The planting of the right number of trees of the respective sorts 
is of considerable importance, for some of the sorts must be planted 
in larger proportion than others, so as to insure a liberal and con- 
tinuous supply, extending over the longest possible period. In the 
accompanying list, which I need hardly say comprises those only 
which are of the highest excellence, I shall point out the relative 
proportions in which the respective kinds should be planted in 
gardens of limited dimensions. The sorts which can be the most 
highly recommended are as follows : — 
Adams. — A handsome dessert apple of large size, coming into 
use during March and April. The fruit is licli and tender, and the 
tree a great bearer. One or two trees. 
Admirahle Smalls. — A large, handsome apple, in use during 
November ; fruit firm, crisp, and pleasantly acid, adapted for the 
kitchen and dessert ; tree dwarf and productive. One or two trees. 
Alfriston. — A fine kitchen apple, of large size and excellent 
quality, in use from November to April. Several trees should be 
planted of this. 
Allen’’ s Everlasting. — A good dessert apple, in use during May 
and June. One tree will suffice. 
American Beauty. — A richly coloured apple of large size ; rich, 
tender, and pleasantly sub-acid ; in use from December to ApriL 
One or two trees will be sufiBcient. 
Ananas, Gregoire. — A handsome little dessert apple, in use from 
January to March ; tender, with brisk flavour. Small in growth 
and productive. 
Annat, Scarlet.— A. pretty, little, early apple, ripe in September, 
dwarf and productive. One or two trees will suffice. 
Ashnead’s Kernel. — One of the best dessert apples, in use from 
November to May; the fruit is rather small, but it has the richness 
of the Nonpareil, and is more sugary ; well adapted for unfavourable 
situations. Three or four trees should be planted. 
Astraclian, Bed. — A showy and useful dessert apple, in use 
during August and September ; fruit of medium size and flavour, 
but the tree is of small stature and free bearing. 
Banhs's Exhibition. — A good cooking apple, in use from Septem- 
ber to December ; fruit large, and of fine flavour ; one of the very 
best sauce’ apples. One tree will be sufficient. 
Beauty of Wilts, Bredye's. — A medium-sized dessert fruit, of 
excellent quality, in use from December to February ; flesh firm 
and rich in flavour. One or two trees. 
Beefing, Striped. — A fine large cooking fruit, in use from Octo- 
ber to May; productive and desirable. Three trees should beplanted. 
Besspool, New. — A good dessert apple, of medium size, and in 
use from January to March ; higher in flavour than the old Bess- 
pool. One or two trees will suffice. 
Brown's Seedling. — A useful autumn apple, of good appearance 
and flavour ; productive and desirable. Two trees may be planted.
