The Apple.-As this fruit fourishes so
well In our climate, In almost every soil
and locality, we have little occasion to cul-
tivate it except as a standard tree Seed>
ings of the common kinds furnish stocks
that answer every purpose. We have
seen few trees raised by engrafing upon
the common wild crab, and have been in.
formed that seedlings from Hughes V:r>
ginia Grab, having been employed for
stocks In some parts of the country


The apple can be dwarfed by ENGRAVING
upon suckers of the Paradise stock
Trees thus raised are rather objects of Gu.
riosity than use. and are usually cui off by
disease and decay. iii be desirable 10
dwarf this frurt, it IS better method to en-
ploy for stocks, seedlings of the Siberian
Crab Engrafted on these, most of our
fine varieties will assume stinted habit,
which if aided by spur pruning, iudicious-
ly applied, will soon establish dwarfish
character, and they will be at once thrown
into bearing STATE. After this has been

ing annually will continue the habit. The
heslthy condition OF the tree will not be
destroyed, while its fruitfrlness may be con-
tinued for long time

The Psar-For extensive orchards,
standard pelr trees are to be preferred in
This country The best stocks are produce
ed from the seeds of the Button or Choke
pear These small, austere kinds are more
prolific in plump seeds than the finer cult
vated varieties; and their seedlings are
more healthy and durable. Horticuiturists
nave discovered that it is often advanta
eeous 20 check the naturally vigorous habit
OF the Pear, by ENGRAVING it upon some
stock that will restrict its growth. This
results in producing dwarf tree that is
prone to form great quantities of fruit buds
at an early age: besides, the qualities of
many varieties of The Pear are found to be
improved by this Shange. The Ounce
and he Thorn are usually employed for
this purpose. On the apple ii will not be
durable.


For On ardens. yards, and small enclosures
dwarfs are preferable 10 standards. IL has
been supposed by some that this process OF
dwarfing IS guard against the fire>blighl,
but we place no confidence in II, having
seen many fine dwarf trees destroyed by
this malady.


TIE Qusncs--From a few limited ex
perisnents, we are led to conclude that this
fruit Is more hari durable and productive,
If enrrafted on the stock Of the Thorn.
The experiment is worthy Of further trial
