everything that may suggest itself TO your taste
fancy, aud all done in the skin Of the fruit with
out abrasion or any foreign impression. The dis
covery Was made by the Hon. Arthur ". Austin.
OF West Roxbury, in ls5l.'52 lie observed dur
ing the former year that apples did not redden in
that part Of the fruit where leaf happened TO lie
upon IT, In 1859, he cut out letters from news
papers, and when the apples wcte yet green, hc
pasted them upon them with paste such us the
Apo,hecaries use, made of Gum Tragacinih. The
apples would rcfisH in all parts not covered hy
the pasted letters. When the fruit had rcdicncd
10 perfection the letters were removed, and they
would appear permanently outlined in green 30
again, when he pasted ON the apple paper in
which the letters were cW or, the parts covered
by the paper would be yreeH, and the letters
would appear distinctly turned In rci the green
ground surrounding them. The experimcn, is a
very pretty one ard produces happy effect.
