SELECT APPLES 
Our principal stock of Apples consists of the following varieties, which have been well proved, and 
can be recommended as the best now in cultivation. 
Standard Trees of nearly all the varieties described can be supplied. 
Dwarf Trees, for Bushes and Espaliers, can be supplied of .several sorts on Paradise stocks. 
We propagate only those varieties which produce large, handsome fruit, mostly summer and autumn 
kinds. On the Paradise stock the trees are small, prolific, bear early, and are therefore desirable for 
small gardens or experimental orchards. They can be planted 5 or 6 feet apart, and will bear 
abundantly the third year after planting. Price of dwarf trees, 50c each. A list of the varieties of 
Dwarf Apples we can supply will be furnished on application.
