FRUIT TREES. 
All our fruit trees are well grown, handsome, healthy, with abundance of roots, and we can confidently recom¬ 
mend them to all our customers. The varieties we name are those we should select for our own planting; but if any of 
our customers prefer other kinds, we can furnish any of the ordinary varieties at the same price as those mentioned. 
<&pple Trees. 
The usual distance of planting standard apple trees is 
two rods, or 33 feet apart, or 40 trees per acre. If 25 feet 
apart, 70 trees will be needed for an acre. 
DWARF APPLES, of which we have a very large 
assortment, can be planted 9 feet apart, or 537 per acre. 
We have ninety different varieties at Moreton Farm, 
planted twenty-five years ago. We do not think them 
profitable for ordinary orcharding on a large scale, but 
are certainly very desirable for those who only raise ap¬ 
ples for their own use, as you can get all the varieties de¬ 
sired on a small area. They also have another great 
advantage. They come into bearing in two or three years 
after planting, and are at once ornamental and profitable. 
The annexed illustration of a dwarf apple tree was made 
for Mr. Harris, and was first published in the Genesee Far¬ 
mer for 1860. Since then it has done duty in nearly every 
nurseryman’s catalogue in America. 
DWARF APPLE TREE. 
We particularly recommend for a large section of the 
country the following varieties: 
Summer.— Early Harvest, Primate, Red Astrachan, 
and Tetofsky. 
Autumn.— Alexander, Fall Pippin, Fameuse (Snow), and 
Maiden’s Blush. 
Winter.— Baldwin, Ben Davis, King, Spy, Greening, 
Tolman’s Sweet, Wagener, and Wine Sap. 
Price.—S tandard trees Jive to seven feet high and first- 
class in every respect, 25 cents each, $2.50 per dozen. Four 
to five feet high, 20 cents each, $2.00 per dozen. 
McIntosh— An improved Snow Apple; fruit same 
color, but larger and a better keeper. 50 cts. each; $4.25 
per dozen. 
Yellow Transparent— A new Summer Apple, a 
week earlier than Early! Harvest; very hardy. 50 ots. 
each; $4.25 per doz. 
Duchess and Wealthy —The two best Ironclad va¬ 
rieties. 40 cts. each ; $4.00 per doz. 
Crab Apples— First-class trees. 35 cts. each; $3.50 
per dozen. 
Dwarf Apples— (It is usual to plant Summer and 
Autumn varieties most largely.) First class trees, 50 cents 
each, $4.25 per dozen. 
Pears. 
We offer Pears grown as standards (on the Pear root), 
and as dwarfs (on the Quince root.) For large orchards 
we would recommend the standard trees, but for the gar¬ 
den the dwarf is the more satisfactory, as it takes up less 
room than the standard and come into bearing two or 
three years after planting. Standards should be planted 
twenty feet apart (108 to the acre); dwarfs ten feet apart 
(436 to the acre.) No home should be without a few Pear 
trees, as by a judicious selection cf varieties, two dozen 
trees will keep the family in delicious fruit from mid¬ 
summer to the following May. 
The accompanying illustration shows a Louise Bonne de 
Jersey dwarf Pear tree seven years from plaming. drawn 
for us from an actual specimen, and first published in the 
Genesee Farmer for 1857.
