the appetite of London and Berlin.
AMI very many of them pass through
Boston within sight of the museum
park in which their ancestral trees
are gathered together, since Boston
for various reasons has become the
leading port of the United States for
apple export, the Leyland and
dominion lines OF the international
Mercantile Marine company carrying
GU huge cargoes all the autumn and
winter. Other cargoes of apples GO
out by way Of New York, which gen.

Dominion line Of steamships always
finds the apple freight one of the most
important parts OF Is cargoes. In all,

Closely akin is the pyrus spectabilis,
represented by quite as many
varieties a Chirese apple, this, and
the one out of which those famous
fruits of the orchards about Pekn
have been evolved. Then, too, there
is the Ringo, also of Asiatic origin and
several others, bearing Russian OF
Polish names, like Neidwjnskiana ana

wild apple, carries great purple
fruit ,.at is in marked contrast to re
diminutive berries of the trees about
it.
The few apples that are native to
the continent of North America are
particularly well represented here,
as is right in an American tree
museum directed by Professor Charles
Sprague Sargent, author of the
monumental Silva of North America.
Among these is the ordinary wild
crab, the pyrus coronaria with small
green fruit, which you will discover
almost anywhere about the shores of
Lake erie or on the Appalachian
mountains ranging southwark as far
as Alabama, or yet again in Mime
sofa, Iowa or eastern Nebraska and
Kansas; and in some localities you
may ulInk passable cider made from
its fruit
Again there is another wild apple
that is familiar to our middle states
the pyrus angustifolla-wh which in the
time Of its blosscming Is one Of the
loyellest Of American small trees, en-
liyening the sombre pine woods OF orr
southern seaboard with glow of rare
beauty. This tree IL undoubtedly

DOUBTLESS many more are TO be found.
In fact, we might almost think that he
is a poor fruit-grower who has not at
some time produced some new type
of apple which he regards as the
finest ever grown.
But TO have always at hand for put
poses OF consultation and study col
lection of what we might call the an
cestors OF our apples, the wild shrubs
and small trees OF the primitive type,
some one of which undoubtedly bore
the fruit that Mother Eve ate in the
garden of Eden-that is more
valuable possession than the layman
might suppose. A good case in point
is the use that is now being made of
specimens from the Arnold Arboretum
collection by the agricultural ex-
pertinent stations of the Canadian
department of agriculture at Ottawa
and at Indian Head, far up in the
\ Northwest territory. The country up
there is perhaps so nearly like para
disc that the authorities want to
complete the likeness; at any rate,
with immigrants by the tens OF
thousands pouring into the Canadiah
northwest and taking up millions
upon millions of acres of the fat
black alluyial soil that produces SO
richly during the brief, hot summer,
the necessity for appie-trees that are
hardly enough to withstand the rigors
of the long severe winter has become
very apparent The ordinary varieties
developed in England, France. and
the United States are hopeless for
such purposes. Fortunately, however,
there are the Siberian apples, bearers
OF juicy little yellow and red fruit
which in many cases grows no bigger
than small BURBERRY. In these
species of the great family OF pyrus
malus with their numerous variations
the Arnold Arboretum is singularly
Fich, and has been able to supply the
Canadian experimenters with a mum
per OF specimens that promise to DO
well in even the extreme north. In
Norway varieties Of apples have been
evolved that will ripen in the ATTITUDES
Of Drontheim and there seems to be
no reason why similarly hardy trees

bay region.
That inns collection, together with

the weil-known Willingness of the
Arboretum authorities to cooperate
with agricultural experiment stations
anywhere may become an important
factor in the apple-growiug industry
appears from the uses which can he
made OF such trees as these OF
Siberian origin. A farmer in the
northwest, or even Alaska-which IS
known TO have agricultural pos.
sibilities,-can set them out, wait
until they are of good size, and then
upon The original stock graft almost
any variety OF lairly hardy apple.
That is to say, you certainly would
not be able to raise pippins of certain
kinds in Manitoba by setting out
pippin seedlings, but by grating pip,
pin shoots upon the tougher Siberian
stock, you get reasonable assurance
OF a crop of the larger, more delicate
apples. 1t has been found at the
Arnold ArboIetum and elsewhere that
grafting upon any of these primitive
species, of which in all about forty
are recognized, does not in any way
dwarf the desired fruit Furthermore,
it is known that many of these
primitive fruits are so good for max
ing iellies that they can profitably be
raised in some sections for that pur-
pose alone.
So much for one of the most
obvious uses oil this modern garden
OF Eden. The great apple.tree collec
ton, which is just now being enlarged
by more than one hundred new
varieties, which are being set out on
the slopes Of Peters hill in the
