ket i'm Europe.

Washington. Feb. 12.-Reports coming

show that the American apple made an
enormous market for itself there last
year. Frank Mason, United States con-

less than 100000 double centners OF
our apples-more than twenty times the
import of any previous season-came
into Germany last year. The consul
general thinks this gain of great mar
ket may be made permanent If certain
precautions are made by American
shippers.
Consul Monaghan at Chemnitz says
the whole German empire is alarmed at
the great apple imports. The keeping
qualities of the best American winter
apples are the subject of astonishment
to German growers, who expressed in
credulity when told a Baldwin would
easily keep six months Even from
England, where the American apple is
well known. come words of surprise at
the great volume of the imports of
American apples, and United States
