APPLES. 
The increasing attention to the cultivation of fruits, and the natural 
emulation growing out of it, are working much to correct the indifference 
with which it has been the custom to treat the apple orchard, and promise 
to secure for it a consideration worthy of its importance, as yielding in 
the most bountiful profusion, the most extensively useful and most indis- 
pensable of all the fruits. 
The apple thrives best in a rich loam, but it will grow in almost any soil 
properly prepared. By following our Hints, given on page six, the trees 
will soon become well established, and give an early taste of their quality. 
Dwarf trees for Bushes, Pyramids or (Espaliers, we have under cultiva- 
tion and can supply freely. They embrace the principal leading varieties 
of the different seasons, the points of fine appearance and quality being 
especially regarded. On the Paradise stock the tree is small, bears early 
and is highly ornamental. On the Doucin it makes a freer growth and is 
well suited for a Pyramid or low Standard. The former (Paradise) should 
be planted four to six feet apart ; the latter (Doucin) eight to twelve feet.
