SUMMER APPLES. 
Dwarf trees are highly ornamental, and come into bearing soon after plant- 
ing. As objects for the Fruit Garden they cannot be excelled. They are very 
productive, and the fruit grown on them is large and fair. 
The summer and autumn varieties are to be preferred for dwarfing, as the 
fruit can be seen in perfection on the trees.
