succeed. According to the reports of
extensive growers of the Ben Davis,
here and there are trees in nearly all
Ben Davis orchards that bear apples
of the depth of color of the Gano. 1t
is the color alone that distinguishes
what is called the Gano from the Ben
Davis.
The German government has re-
moved the prohibition as to the i'm
portation of American dried and
evaporated fruit. For several years
past this fruit, has been admitted into
Germany only after much delay and
vexatious inspection for the a Jose
scale. At last the officials of the
American government have convinced
the Germans that the scale could not
be a danger to the German consumers
after it had undergone the evaporating
process.
The winter meeting of the Indiana
State horticultural Society will be
held at the state house, Indianapolis,
Dec. 10 to 20. On previous years this
meeting has frequently been held at
the same time as the meetings in other
states and this has prevented attend
ice from other states. We urge that
farmers from other states as well as
from Indiana attend this meeting. The
meetings of this society are always
profitable and one cannot attend them
without being well repaid for the
money and time spent.
We wish to commend the prompt
ness of Professor Troop, of the Indiana
State horticultural Society, in the
sending out of the notices of the
meetings of the society two months in
advance of the time. We a name
societies in the west whose secretaries
do not send out notices of the meet
ings in time to get them published be-
fore the holding of the meetings. We
have frequently called attention to this
matter. Such meetings need to be
well advertised, and it is impossible

In this year of large apple supplies
our foreign market should be carefully
watched. When crops are large there
is a tendency to send fruit that is not
the best in size. When crops are
small the average of quality is gener-
ally high, due to the bearing of a small

then not so hard to keep up the quail
ity in u foreign shipments. Now,
) however, we are faced with the ten
. dency to send abroad fruit inferior in
l size. AS the Europeans have formed
1 a good opinion of our fruit so far, it
is desirable that that opinion be held.
Carefully sorted fruit only should be
permitted to cross the ocean.
