At few minutes after o'clock the society
was called to order by the president, who an
nounced that the apple was appointed the sub
| ject for discussion. This fruit may be es-
teemed worth perhaps all others combined, on
account Of It's universally, and its facility OF
| cultivation, in connection with its intrinsic
merit. He regarded the juice alone, properly
attended to, as more valuable than that of the
grape. None who have not personal knowl-
edge can have any idea of the excellence of
the cider Gf it can be so styled that is made
in England from the improved crab. Now if
we can develop any improvement in the apple
it is OF the very highest consequence. He said
that its cultivation dwarf, in small gar
| dens, will be an object OF greater attention in
| future years. Either the Paradise or Doucin
| stock may be used, according to the size of tree
desired. The durability of the apple, like
! that of all other fruit, is improved by dwarf
| ing.
