Gardening; Gardens; Parks. 286 THE PARKS AND GARDENS OP PARIS. [Chap. XVIII. the best of the above are yaluable keeping Apples. The Eeinette Grise may be seen in fine condition in the markets at Eouen in June, and Eeinette tres-tardive is good in Jnly. Those who wish to plant good early Apples might try Borovitsky, and a few of the best early kinds; but it is better to devote most of the horizontal cordons to the growth of the finer and later fruits. Of the above selection the Calville Blanc, the Eeinette du Canada, and Mela Carla must^be grown on a warm wall; the Mother, Melon, and several of the other later and finer Apples will also be grateful for the same protection. Of the kinds of French Apples that may be had grafted on the Paradise abundantly in nurseries all over France the following are among the best: Calville Blanc, Eeinette du Canada, E. d'Angleterre, E. Grise, E. de Caux, E. tres-tardive, E. de. Rehtette dn Canada trained as a Cordon. Bretagne, E. d'Espagne, Belle Dubois, Belle Josephine, Calville St. Sauveur. As a great number of trees is required for this mode of planting; as the Apple on the Paradise occupies but a small space in nurseries compared to other trees; and as it is very likely that before long there will be a demand for this form of tree, it is to be hoped that our nurserymen will offer suitable kinds at a very low rate by the doz'en, score, or hundred, as is the case in France. Till this is done there can be no hope of the perfect and general success of the system. As to the culture of the Apple on the Paradise in its earliest stage in nurseries, M. Jean Durand of Bourg-la-Eeine, near Paris, writes to me as follows:— " If the Apple-tree is to be grown in the form of the horizontal cordon, it must be grafted on the variety known to horticulturists as the Paradise.
