NJ. bitter.
CoMMENTs:-H. A. Holibaugh dissented
from the views expressed in the essay, as to
planting like varieties of apples in the same
part of the orchard. Mr.. Lawrence asked
what is the best variety to raise for profit.
Several members had slight objections to
make to the Baldwin. Mr.. Hayhurst said 1t
was slow in coming into bearing.
Mr.. Bitter said the fruit was subject to black
spots. Harvey Slusser acknowledging the value
of the Baldwin for market, would plant differ
ent varieties, so that If one missed, the other
might not fail.
w. l.. Wash objected to planting all Of one
variety in the same side of the orchard, but
alternate rows of Baldwins with rows Of Rhode
Island Greetings for the purpose Of the better
fertilization.
The president thought the Baldwin made a
poor top. But Mr. II. A. Holibaugh would, by
pruning give any apple tree just such top as
he desired. Although the prevailing opinion
seemed to be- that in spite of the above defects
an orchard should be about one-third filed
with Baldwins.
Mr.. Tinker asked whether Baldwin graft
ed on Seeding stock yielding sweet apples
would differ from Baldwin placed on sour
apple stock. Mr. Holibaugh said the fruit
would differ slightly.

pennock apples
Mr.. Holibaugh quoted the New York ex'
pertinent station that spraying with Bordoux
mixture win do the work.
Wm. Shafier wants to plant an orchard and
asks advice as to varieties so that he may have
apples all the year round. The following is
| list furnished by Mr.. Holibaugh; For early
apples--Yellow transparent early harvest and
red astrachan. For late summer-Ve Venona and
red bietighimer. For fall use-Duchess Of
oldenburg, orange sweet, Weaver sweet and
sweet russet. winter--Baldwin, Grimes
golden, HubbardsOn's non-such, Ben Davis
and Ewalt; one-third of winter apples should
be Baldwins.
w. l.. Nash has lately planted an orchard in
the following varieties: red astrachan,
early harvest, winter sweet, Peck's pleas
ant 2 gate apples, 10 Ben Davis, go Baldwin

Mr.. Bitter would add to the lists namet

helpless, 10 far as foreclosure proceedings go.
The Il. & o. people claim to he able in this
way to keep the Valley receivership in its

sires absolute control of the Valley property,
and does not want TO share its future prosper

place in the new ownership of the road. The
II. &. o, people have Of late been well supplied

A Strange Costume.

Naval officers tell many amusing stories
of Robert Louis Stevenson S lifoin Samoa.
He was once invited to a lunch on one OF
the warships. He presented himself in
loose, tapping trousers, above his ankles,
a short white jacket and without stock
ings. The officers were in full regalia
But when the lunch was under way, in
the brilliance of his conversation, they
forgot the nondescript costume and real
lied the honor of his company. At his home
they found the family in native costume
This on the part of Mrs Stevenson was a
Samoan Mother Hubbard, her hair down
and her feet bare. Mr.. Stevenson and his
son wore strips of cotton cloth wound
about them and short sleeved knit cotton
shirts above Mr.. Osborne is very tall and
thin, and his appearance in this garb was
something to be remembered. But for a
gentleman in town Robert Louis Steven
son would have not gone to Samoa. He
had finished the cruise he had undertaken
and was about to return home, when he
met this English yachtsman, who advised
him that he had not seen the South Sea
islands until he had visited Samoa. Mr..
Stevenson was impressed by his account,
and a visit to Samoa ended in making 1t
his home.
