apples, both for cooking and eating,
which they are selling at much less than
the prices that have ruled heretofore.
They are receiving daily, splendid lots Of
peaches, in excellent condition, looking as

Pears this season arc quite plenty and
they may Ike found in abundance at Tall

this time until cold weather, to keep the
largest and best variety Of fruits to be
found in Austin, and to furnish them to
dealers at very low rates.
Mr.. Walter Hines of Window, has one
Of the finest orchards that We know Of
in this county. His trees are large, thrifty
and fruitful, producing several varieties
If excellent fruit. Perhaps one of the
best and most reliable apples which he
raises is the Duchess of o :denburgh. The
tree is a standard in this climate, and the
fruit has very fine flavor. Mr.. Hines
has devoted great care TO his orchard, and
We are glad that he is succeeding so well
with it. Equally skillful efforts put forth
by other farmers would in a few years
make apples as plenty in Minnesota as
they are In many Of the older states
Carefully selected varieties properly shell
tered will live and bear beautifully, hence
any one who'will take little pains may
raise apples even in Minnesota.
