possessing other excellent qualities. This
apple has been shipped to the Yellowstone
from ST. Louis, ard was found there fresh
and in perfect condition in July. 1t is thus
described inrC Chdnbers's Rural World, OF
July 6, under date of "Parkville, Mo-,
June %, 10" by Geo. S. Park. We are
particular in giving post Office and name, to
enable nurserymen 10 obtain scions of this
valuable fruit. We add Mr.. Parks descrip
ton:
"The apple retains its freshness and fine
favor till July 1t is uniformly of large size,
yellow grain, covered with crimson stripes and
splashes Of bright red mottled and shaded
with rich yellow bloom presenting splendid
appearance in the basket"
We judge this would be valuable ad-
dition to our long keeping fruits. 1t would
fill place not filed by the American Pippin.
Cannot some of our nurserymen obtain scions
to propagate by budding the present season?

Such need no further appeal to their sense OF
neatness, then. But those who really love
the suggestion of beauty for their own sake
will not omit the turf patch, the shrubbery
and the hedge and vine becuse they make
almost any home more attractive and cause
the sentiments to sprout like the very leaves
