Almost all sorts succeed equally well when worked upon Paradise or Doucin stock ; the for- mer producing a very small tree or shrub ; the latter a tree of considerable^ size, reaching sometimes to 10 or 12 feet in height. These commence bearing fruit the second year after planting, and being as healthy as standard trees and productive are a great ornament and satisfaction. They should be planted from six to eight feet apart, and will produce fruit without the delay attending standard. Being trained low they are valuable for the West. Taking up but little room, they are especially adapted to village gardens of small extent, giving the owners a constant and sure supply of choice fruits, far superior to any which can be bought in market. RUSSIAN AND OTHER HARDY APPLES. Great interest is now manifested in what are known as Russian and ''Iron Clad Apples ''—varieties sufficiently hardy to stand the extreme climate of the North and Northwest, and yet possessing the merits in quality and size of the standard sorts of a more temperate region. So great has been the developement in this direction, and so numerous and valuable have the kinds become, that the complaint is no longer valid that good fruit cannot be produced in the far North or Northwest. '^Ve mention as among the best and most prominent sorts, Duchess of Oldenburg, Tetofsky, Haas, Pewaukee, Wealthy, Walbridge, Alexander, Mann, Mcintosh Red, Rubicon, Red Beitigheimer, New Brunswick and Yellow Transparent.
