DWARF APPLE TREES.
An Interesting Account of Two Types
Used For Stocks.

An Interesting Account Of Two Types
Used For Stocks.
Unlike the dwarf pea which Is
budded or grated on Qu. - stock. the
apple when grown as dwarf Is work
ed on dwarf forms of the same species.
Dwarf and many other curious forms
Of any plant may appear where many
seedlings are grown The dwarf or
bush lima bean may be mentioned as
an example. The bloomless or seed
less apple, of which SO much has been
said of lates has appeared at many
places. both in the United States and
In Europe, as is shown by the litera-
ture of horticulture.
Paradise and the Douoin.
There are two types Of these dwarf
apples which are used for stocks,
known as the Paradise and the Doucin.
The exact origin of the Paradise apple
is not known. as several ancient writ
ers describe different apples under this
name or the apple of Adam. One writ
er describes q variety as the true
Paradise, in which the bite of Adam
and Eve can be seen. This notion
probably comes from peculiar blush
on one side of the fruit. 1t is evident
that the name has been applied to
many different forms, all of which
make tree of about the same height
ranging from six to eight feet.
The origin Of the Doucin is more
certain 1t appears to have originated
In Italy and was first brought to no.
tice probably in the sixteenth century.
This makes larger tree than the
Paradise, being about midway between
the latter and a standard tree. states
an authority in Country Gentleman.
For this reason the Doucin has not
been much used as q stock. Nearly
all the dwarf apple trees In this coun-
try are propagated on the Paradise
stock.
Most of the stock is grown in France,
where our nurserymcn procure their
supplies.
