DWARF APPLE TREE. This is a portrait of a Red Astracan Apple tree, on Paradise stock, about eight years old, in full bearing, intended to illustrate the form and appearance of such trees. For Grardens. the Paradise stock makes the most appropriate Dwarf tree, bearing very early, very pro- fusely, and ffiving fruits of the most beautiful appearance and fine quality. For Orchards of Pyramidal Apple trees or Dwarf Standards, the Doucin is preferable, but trees on it do not bear much sooner than on the free stock, unless judiciously pruned. Those who desire a fine assortment of Dwarf Apples will always do well to leave the selection to us, as we are then able to send those varieties which are most advantageously gi'own in this way.
