The New Russian Apples.

Aaron Webster, Esq, of East Roxbury,
writes " am very glad to see your reportof
the new Russian apple. Some of these varie-
ties which the United States Department of
Agriculture has sent out for trial promise to
be of great value to Vermont and other
Northern sections, and perhaps in more Ia
vored fruitgrowing sections as well, the trees
being very vigorous and hardy, early and
abundant bearers of most beautiful and ex-
cellent fruit. It is very important that these
varieties should be compared by competent
Judges as soon as possible, and a selection
of the best only recommended to the public
for cultivation. For this purpose we need

tee composed of the best pomoogists in the
state Until then I hope you will consent
to receive reports and specimens and make
the result known through the columns of
your agricultural department. | have
several of these varieties on trial, some fif-
teen of which are fruiting this year. Among
them is the Yellow Transparent and
several others of the same class, having a
family resemblance in tree and fruit. The
largest of these is the Charlottenhaler APP
pie (No. 3i2). The tree is remarkably
hardy and vigorous, of upright habit (grows
well on crab as well as apple stocks), an
early but not too precocious bearer, aud
promises to be valuable for either home use
or market Fruit large to very large (some
specimens weighing twelve ounces), whitish
yellow, elongated, oblate, comic, obsourely
ribbed stem short calix closed, basin and
cavity small Flesh little coarse, tender
juicy, sub-acid Ripens from the 10th to
last of August.
Another, received as Sweet Pear Apple
(No. 965), proves to be most excellent early
apple, large, white, very juicy, mild, rich,
sub-acid, a choice desert apple, like No. 342."
We have received from Mr.. Webster, by
express, specimens of thirteen different va
rieties of the new Russian apples, including
those described in his letter. We shall take
pleasure in testing these apples with care
and will report upon them hereafter. Sew
era of them are of large size, and some of
the smaller ones are of remarkable beauty
especially the "Lubsk Queen (No. 44D,

and by grating them on old trees have SO

Having no old trees, ours were all grated on
small stocks, and but few are yet bearing.
1t is pity that more care was not taken

oh wild and dark was the winter night,
when the emigrant ship went down,
But just outside Of the harbor bar,
In the sight of the startled town.
The winds howled. and the sea roared,
And never q soul could sleep,
Save the little ones on their mothers breasts,
Too young TO watch and weep.
No boat could live in the angry surf,
No rope could reach the iand
There were bold. brave hearts upon the shore
There was many ready handi
Women who prayed, and men who strove
When prayers and work were vain
For the sun rose over the awful void
And the silence Of the main
All day the watchers paced the sand
All day they scanned the deep;
All night the booming minute guns
Echoed from steep to steep.
"Give up thy dead, o cruel seal"
They cried athwart the space;
But only baby's fragile form
Escaped from its stern embraced
Only one little child Of all
who with the ship went down
That night, when the happy babies slept
SO warm in the sheltered town.
Wrapped In the glow Of the morning light,
II lay on the shifting sand,
As fair as a sculptor's marble dream,
with shell in Ia dimpled hand.
There were none to tell Of ts race or kin
"God knoweth," the pastor said,
When the sobblng children crowded to ask
The name of the baby dead.
And so when they laid II away at last
In the churchyari's hushed repose,
They raised a stone at the baby's head

And round his cottage porch is seen

His ample store In measure,
More rich than heaps of hoarded gold,

"Mine is true story" said Annie, the
eldest of the group, "about little girl only
eight years old, whose dress took fire. She
was alone in the house with servant, who
did not know what to do, except to run to
the door and scream, which she did till the
little girl called out, Roll me in the carpet !
as soon as this was done, and the fire extin-
guished, she remarked Il read that in a
book that is, il your clothes ever catch fire,
you must roll yourself up in acarpet or quilt,
as quick as possible, for that will smother or
put out the fire. Any one might have
known that, but it was presence of mind
that made her think of it just at the right
moment"
