THE APPLE 
The apple is one of the most common fruits in our 
gardens, and owing to its usefulness it well deserves to 
be extensively grown. When the simple points in its 
cultivation are understood and attended to there is no- 
thing to hinder anyone from growing Apples successfully. 
This fruit will succeed on almost any soil, though it 
attains its greatest excellence on a good, deep, and well- 
cultivated loamy soil. It is generally propagated by graft- 
ing or budding, and in some nurseries is grown in very 
large quantities. It is generally grown as bush trees in 
small gardens, and as standards or bush trees in large 
orchards, but it may also be grown as espaliers, or on 
walls, and as cordons. 
When planting, the Apple tree, in common with all other 
trees or bushes, should have the roots carefully dressed.
