young grow vigorously but they never at
tain large size, As proof OF tho wide
approva OF this apple, it is starred in
twenty different States oil the Union in
the catalogue OF the American Pomolog-
ical Society, with double stars in four.
Danvers Sweet ripening about the same
time, is freer and larger grower, and
usually more productive, but the fruit Is
not equal to the last mentioned IN quail.
ty. Hartford Sweetipg, large, dull red
apple, is borne on vigorous tree, but is
hardly OF first quality Ladies Swcet,on
the other hand, is an excellent apple, OF
medium size, but the tree a feeble grower.
Phillips's Sweeting, OF Ohio, somewhat
resembles Ladies Swectng' but is hardly
grows on a more yieorous tree. and alto.
eetber is q valuable sort. The old Sweet
Pearnaip, q well known roundish conical
dark red apple, is much valued at the
West, as well as the Sweet Romantic,
more oblate in form. and lightly striped
with red. keeping through winter. The
tree of the Sweet Vandevere is crooked
and struggling. hut it bears heavy crops
of rich. Juicy and aromatic fruit. The
Wing Swcetipp, when fair. is handsome,
brilliant red annie of fine flavor. but is
not ALWAYS reliable. Green Sweet is
moderately good sort, growing on strong.
healthy tree. Broadwell and Winter
Sweet Paradise are valuable winter sorts
at the West.
We could add many more names to the
preceding list, some of the sorts OF con.
siderable merit. IF landowners would
plant an orchard exclusively of sweet va.
rieties. thew would learn much about
them, and the crops would never come
amiss. for stock feeding or culinary use,
and rerhaps for market. Gent.

DESTROYING THE ONION MAGGoT My
neighbor, y. y. Austen, though a mer'
chant, has time to till successfully small
piece oil land IN the suburbs OF this vii
liage (Fort Plain). Among other things,
pot'ced plat OF onions which have
not seen equaled for many year, and
never surpassed: was surprised in this
inject age, particularly as it relates to
the onion, to see such a crop. This is
one'thlrd OF an acre uniformly good and
rising to level OF two feet, dark and
thrifty. The land Is deep, dark, river
soil, all that is wanted for growth. But
as the insect is the objection to the crop,
and seeing 1t so excellent, L at once ex-
pressed my surprise to Mr.. Austen at
seeing such healthy and thrifty crop,
