FRUIT STOCKS 
(Quantity prices upon request) 
APPLE, The wood of the Woodapple (Malus sylvestris) being of ironlike 
hardness makes prohibitive its use as stock for domestic apple varieties. 
The French Cider Crab, a hybrid race between the Woodapple and 
our Table-Apple (Malus communis or pumila) combines the ruggedness 
of the former with the adaptability of the latter producing a wood 
which offers little resistance to the knife.

PINUS montana uncinata, this is one of our most useful Pines for soil con¬ 
servation and game cover. Thriving on any kind of soil, even on wet 
sides, it is invaluable for erosion control and protection against snow 
and stone slides. As substitute for the tender Pinus pinaster (maritima) 
it is much planted in northern Europe on dunes, where it ultimately 
forms impenetrable thickets. It also makes a good shelter plant in 
game and bird reservations.
