branches, like many other kinds; fruit
very large and uniform in size 1t is a
superb variety. "
The fruit is described as measuring
q trihe over seven inches in circumfer-
ence and shows long keeping quality.
The fruit is round in form, color red
dish purple, a little darker than the
Bradshaw; flesh yellow, stone small
and in quality superb. The tree is a
strong, erect grower, forming a nice
shapely head, something like Alum
dance in this respect. It is, however, a
more symmetrical and shapely grower.
Its season of ripening is about a month
later than Abundance or Burbank, or
from the middle to last of September.
It's large, even size and beautiful color,
late season in ripening, long keeping
and superb quality will make ii a very
desirable variety for the garden or for
the market

THE INGRAM APPLE.

bearer and makes fine orchard tree.
The fruit is Of medium size and, in this
respect, decidedly larger than the old
variety. The figure shows the shape
fairly.
In shape it is oblate, comic and some
what angular The color is yellowish
when fully ripe, covered well over with
quite distinct red stripes and some
mixed red of duller color. Many speci-
mems are quite handsomely colored, and
as they run the apples are decidedly
superior in general appearance to the
parent variety. The favor is subacid
and would be considered by the average
person as very good eating. It is late
keeper 80 far as tested. In Missouri
considerable orchards Of Ingram are al
ready planted and in bearing, and its
popularity is steadily extending. The
commercial orcbardists Of the west are
taking it up and as good authority as
Professor H. E. Van Deman, in giving
the foregoing illustrated mention Of it
in The Rural New Yorker, concludes
by recommending others TO try it, es-
pecially in the regions where Ben Davis
and Winesap are popular.

WHEN TO SPRAY.
Professor Cards Recommendation
For Apple Orchards.

Professor Card Of Nebraska makes
the following recommendation in a re-
cent bulletin
Spray with paris green, as generally
recommended, about one week after the
blossoms fall or in time to get the calyx
cups we'll filed with the poison so that
they may close over and hold it there.
Spray again with paris green and
bordeaux mixture combined or with
kerosene emulsion about June 1, or,
better still, observe carefully and apply
this when the eggs are being laid in
abundance on the leaves.
scrape the bark and place paper
bands around the tree about the last Of
June, when the larvae are beginning to
leave the apple to pupate. Examine
these two or three times, a week apart,
and destroy the insects found beneath
them.
If these methods are not wholly effect
i've, owing to the proximity Of neglect
ed orchards or from an unusual abun-
dance of moths, later spraying, with Ell
ther paris green and bordeaux mixture
or kerosene emulsion, may do some
good, but apparently cannot be expect
ed to be wholly effective. Late spraying
with arsenites is much more likely to
injure the foliage than earlier applica-
tions.
If larvae are still found in the apples
in any considerable numbers toward
the end of the season, place paper bands
about the tree about Sept 1 or little
earlier. Leave them there until the
fruit is gathered from the orchard then
remove aud destroy the Larvae hibernat-
ing beneath them.

Auntform Apple Rnrre1.

The Country Gentleman presents re-
marks made before the Eastern New
York Horticultural society by Mr..
Charles Foster, in which occurs the fol-
lowing: Let me say that the time has
come when our growers recognize the
necessity of coming together on this
question. Our barrel manufacturers are
ready for the change, and there is to-
day no widespread opposition to legis-
lation that will place us in fair compe-
tition In the markets of this country
and Europe with the larger barrel now
in general use in the western states,
Virginia, New England and Canada.
What we desire is a package of the
capacity Of the -four barrel, which is
1716 inches diameter Of head, 29H
inches stave and 64 inches bulge. There
is nothing in our bill which precludes
the use of new or secondhand -four
barrels--the former 30 largely used in

A superb New Plum.

Mr.. Luther Burbank, the originator
Of a large number Of new and noted
plums which are being largely planted,
pronounces the October Purple the best
Of them all, according to American
Gardening, which quotes him thus in
illustrating the fruit: "The October
Purple is splendid grower, ripens up
its wood early to the tip, bears every
season and fruits all over the old wood

during drought They are remarkably
neat and effective when grown in the
garden, choosing those varieties with
erect flowers, Gloire de Lorraine, YER
non weltoniensis and Duchess of Edin-
burgh being some Of the best. These
plants do best in half shaded situa-
tion, and position partly shaded by a
tree at little distance suits them well,
especially if in a moist spot They
are also very useful for edging borders
Of the larger tuberous rooted begonias
or other plants.
The dwarf Towering Begonia Gloire
de Lorraine is also a charming little
plant for slipping into a bowl 1t has
rounder leaves than the other varieties.
The pretty flowers, too. in rich shade
Of pink, are broad petaled and round,
the whole plant being covered with
them. This variety is distinct in ap-

THE INGRAM APPLE.
Commercial Orchardists of the West
Have Taken It Up.

One Of the new apples that is deserv-

central and southern states, is Ingram.
1t was originated by Martin Ingram of
Green county, Mo-, from seed Of Rails
Genet (Which is often called Geniton,
etc. something more than 25 years
ago. It resembles that old favorite
somewhat in both tree and fruit. Like
its parent, the tree doea not come into
leaf and bloom 80 early as most apples,
and is therefore not so often caught by
late frosts 1t is regular, dependable

LILY blight and Its Prevention.

"The lily blight is the most serious
fungous disease troubling lilies in
America, " says an authority on the
subject 1.-The fungous develops most
destructively during moist periods, do
ing little harm in dry seasons. 1t may
attack any part of the plant from bulb
to flower, but lie most conspicuous upon
the leaves, where by killing the tissues
it causes reddish or rusty brown spots.
These are small at first, but increase in
size more or less rapidly, often involv-
ina the entire leaf. and the plant is thus
