ricanetructive to wall fruit, and p °Ocularly to our finest winter
apple, the Ribston Pi • . Mr. NI. Hardy, gardener to

years, has proved very do_

ingraiting the Ribston
Pippin upon the jirgonelie stock, the influence by which
the latter seemed to resist 'he attacks of the aphis might
be imparted to the apple. This he accordingly tried th c

Mr. M`Hardy's expectations in regard to the health of the
wood, but in the improvement of the fruit, bath as to size
and flavour. Specimens of the wood and fruit, from the
infected tree, and from the engrafted one, are at present
to be seen et Messrs. Dickson and Turnbull's here, and
the remarkable contrast which they present, affords the
most convincing evidence of the beneficial effect of the sys-
tem, which the experience of three successive seasons has
confirmed.—Perth Paper.
