|. Apples, Rotting.

Some disorder seems , to have 60.
amongst the apples in this region almost
Aa destructive as that which for several
years has been affecting the potatoes.
The rot in many instances commences at
thelcore OF the apple, and in few days
destroys it entirely. Apples which should
be- sound and hard for at least o month
yet. are many of them rotten or quite
mellow. Does this arise from some Pc
culiarity Of the season, or is it mysts.
,riouss blight, like the potato disease?
