THE GERMAN APPLE DEMAND. 



"b'iup liibii api'lps lo; tlie (ieinuin 

 market shoulil lie selected from attrac- 

 tive varieties and good keepers," says 

 Consul Biittain. at Kehl in a report to 

 the Department of Commerce and 

 Labor. '■They should be wrapped in 

 tissue paijei'. then packed in tine ex- 

 celsior, in boxes made from strong, 

 light limiber. These boxes should be 

 aoout 24 inches long, and from 12 to 

 1-1 inches wide, and sufficiently higli 

 for one layer of apiiles. Should two 

 layers be placed in the same box, they 

 should be separated by clieap card- 

 board and the second layer should be 

 packed as the first. While this sort 

 of packing may require a little more 

 time, yet the extra expense will be 

 slight and the seller will be duly com- 

 pensated by the increase in the price 

 of the fruit. Apples coming from 

 France, running from two and a half 

 to three to the pound, packed as 

 described, sell for 5, 6 and 7 cents 

 each — apples that are inferior to ours 

 in appearance and flavor. The size 

 and beauty of our finest apples would 

 doubtless command a much higher 

 price. No continental apples equal 

 ours in flavor or appearance. At pres- 

 ent American apples of the common 

 grades, packed in boxes or barrels, 

 sell at 10 to 12 cents per pound. We 

 must pay more attention to the man- 

 ner of packing merchandise, especially 

 perishable merchandise, if we wish to 

 capture the foreign market."

WASHINGTON FLORISTS' CLUB. 



The Washington Florists' Club are 

 to have an afternoon outing to the 

 Great Falls on the Virginia side, on 

 July 25th. All are looking forward 

 with much pleasure to the event, as 

 there will be sports of various kinds, 

 and that added to the great beauty of 

 the natural scenery ought to com- 

 pensate all for their proportionate 

 assessment, to say nothing of the din- 

 ner that will be served at the Dickey 

 House. It is hoped there will be a 

 full attendance.

GARDENERS' AND FLORISTS- 

 CLUB OF BOSTON. 



The annual club picnic will be held 

 in Dorchester Park, corner of Dorches- 

 ter Ave. and Richmond St., and Adams 

 St., Dorchester, on Thursday, July 25. 

 The park is easily reached by Ashmont 

 and Milton electrics from Dudley St. 

 Station, or any electric running 

 through Milton Lower Mills, the walk 

 being only three minutes. Cedar 

 Crove Station on the Mallapan branch 

 of the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R., is only 

 ten minutes' walk distant. 



A very attractive and valuable list 

 of prizes has been entered for the 30 

 events on the athletic part of the pro- 

 .gramme. Entries are restricted to 

 club members, their wives and families. 

 Peter Miller will be official starter; 

 Wilfrid Wheeler, official handicapper 

 and the sporting committee consists of 

 J. W. Duncan, Robert Cameron, H. M. 

 Robinson, R. S. Edgar, James Wheeler, 

 Wm. Davis, Wilfrid Wheeler, Peter 

 Miller, Maurice Fuld and Duncan Fin- 

 layson. Sports will commence at 10 

 \. M. sharp. A cordial invitation is 

 given to all who want to spend a thor- 

 oughly enjoyable day to be present. 

 The commercial growers are hoping to 

 regain their lost laurels in the tug of 

 war contest, which the private .garden- 

 ers are as intent on keeping. Great 

 jivalry is promised in many of the 

 fporting events and a record-breaking 

 attendance is assur^d.
