It looks as if the apple crop of New 3England and New York State would ‘be'rworth a good deal of money this ."year. Apples will be scarce in most , ~other parts of the country, and con- ; itractors are already trying to buy im- portant orchards, offering prices which . indicate an expected scarcity of fruit. ‘Growers should be cautioned against “. shipping their fruit at prices which seem fairly good now, but which may The much below the level established , ~i'later on. The Country Over. The prominent apple growers of ‘New York and New England are de- ’ veloping a very confident feeling with 'regard to the coming season.‘ It has ‘now become evident that most of the apples in the country are located in a =' small section of the Pacific coast, in comparatively small districts of the --' southwest, principally Arkansas, the balance in New York and New Eng- ‘-land. There will be some apples in the lake region and a good many in ' Canada, but the Canadian apple will ‘ probably not come to American mar- ..tets. The Pacific coast andsouthwest- «arn apples will certainly all be needed .or western markets, and it is almost wertain that these markets will try to «draw on the east for what surplus ap- .».ples can be spared. New York and, New England. The northeast, by which is meant wchiefly New York and New England, Eertainly has a fair crop of apples and “one which is more uniformly distribut- med than that of last year. It would be acalled a fair crop were it a bearing -year, and for the nonbearing year it :‘may be considered a large crop, but “whether it be‘larg'c or small it is hard ‘40 see how prices can be anything but +good.â€"â€"â€"American Cultivator.

Of the newer dahlias, as described by' Gardening, the following list has been selected from at least 200 varie- ties and have proved themselves extra good: Countess of Lonsdale (cactus).-â€"â€"The i best all round dahlia to date; early and continuous bloomer; color, a blending of amber and salmon pink; unusually attractive under electric light; nothing better for cutting. Buttercup (single).-â€"Great bloomer; dwarf habit; rich yellow flowers. Alba Superba.â€"One of the grandest of white single dahlias; long stem and , fine keeper. Gracieâ€"Another beautiful single va- riety; color, white, shading to a soft pink toward the center; free bloomer : and fine long stemmed cut flower. Strikingâ€"Crimson maroon, tipped with white; a fine single dahlia; ef- fective on plant or cut. Perle d’Or (decorative).-â€"-Flowers six inches in diameter of the purest white are nothing unusual; a great bloomer; where a double white is desiired this one will fill the bill. ' Catherine Duer (decorative).â€"Color, a fine glowing red; of immense size; a strong grower, but not as free a bloom- er as Perle d’Or. Sylvia (decorative).-â€"Color, a soft pink; this is no doubt an improvement over nymphaea, which is of the same color, but the flowers are fuller and have longer stems.

A cold, dry, pure airis ideal for the - mreservation of fruits of most kinds. ’Cold air checks the ripening process and retards the growth ofgdiseases. TDry air may prevent the development of rots, and pure air preserves the deli- cate quality of the fruit. Theripening must be checcked soon after the fruit is picked to prevent premature dete- zrioratlon; Rlpenlng proceeds much more rapidly when a fruit is severed from the tree, so that it comes nearer the point of deterioration in a few hours or days than it would have been if left hanging on the tree in the same temperature for a much longer period. In cold storage the rots develop, and , most fruits ripen if the temperature f remains much above 32 degrees Fahr. . enhelt for any length of time. The molds grow it the room is moist; the . flavor deteriorates li' thenir ls'im- pure. If the temperature throughout the room is not uniform, the stored products ripen unevenly. It the prod- ucts are not piled so that the air can circulate freely about the, packages, the ripening may proceed and the rots develop before the fruit is cooledâ€":G. H. Powell. . r-- ' - ' " ' collection. _ ryland experiment station says that the fruit ripens several days or weeks i l l PEACH“ YELLOWS. Examine All Trees Carefully During the Ripening Period.

In most sections where sufficient water is available throughout the summer the rust ap- ‘ pears only in tail on the leaves which are about to fall from natural ina- turity. In dry regions, however. where the trees suffer for water, the rust sometimes appears quite early and causes the foliage to tail. Peaches. plums, prunes and occasionally almonds are aiIectedrR.
