This marvellous improvement in the
common applet fulfilling ID letteraa
in spirit the jest Of the schoolboy,
who psoolaimed that "there amt
going to be no cpre, !" would seem to
indicate that The new apple viii event
ually monopolizethe markets of the
world, for reasons which the. append
ed data clearly point out.
By way Of illustration, il may be
said that the aeedless and coreless APP
pie follows closely the analogue pre-.
sented by the seedless orange, and is
3 in fact prototype OF the latter. When
the seedless orange was introduced to
the public, it was regarded in the
light Of G horticultural wonder, for if
there we're no seeds, by what uuoanny
method was this kind propagated.
Shrouded in o myatery such as this,
it required some little time for the
matter.of-faot virtueato inpress them
selves and she real merits ofthe fruit
to become known; but once eaten, ite
subtle qualities were forgotten, and
its advantages were quickly sppre-
oiated, and from that day 20 this the
old-fashioned variety, with its mplti-
plieity os5 seeds, has entered severely.
,having been almost driven from the
market, and left all but out OF the
race. Now let us aseartain the real
difference between the swo varieties
ofthe oranges, as the comparison will
serve useful purpose when the old
and the new species Of, apples are
being similarly considered. The rea-Y
son seedless oranges are universally
preferred to those that contain oyules
is not because any saving is effected,
but simply that the seeds are in the
way The ordinary apple presents Q
wholly different aspect, for tho seeds
are inclosad in hard pockets that rep:
resent At leaat one-fourth Of the apple
and which cannot be utilized many
way as an article Of food, whereas i'm
seedless variety these disagreeable
features are entirely eliminated.
Still, what is more to the point of
economy, apples without Bse,aa Bseaas are:
also Wormless, for is is well known sp
growers that worms in apples obtain
their suasenance not from the meat,
butfrom the seeds, hence tits evident
that ia Worm was hatohed IN . seed
