FROM CAPT. CRANE, of the Nettie Merrill, we have
received some specimens of apples grown on the
estate OF Captain Makee at Ulupalakua, which for
size aud favor quite equal to any received from
the orchards of California or Oregon. Capt. Crane
informs us that the orchard at Ulupaakua produces
large number of apples equal in every respect to
the samples. The success of Capt Makee in culti-
waiting this fruit only shows the result of patience
and perseverance,, but demonstrates that the high
lands of these Islands capable of producing as
fine kpples as can be procured from abroad. We
trust that others who have lands in favorable loca
ties will emulate his example.
