ciety. An extract from his letter referring to vegetables grown there will 

 interest our reader. "I had a cauliflower weighing 3 lbs. with leaves, root and 

 stock off; a parsnip that weighed \% lbs. and was 13j£ in. in circumference 

 and 13^ in. long; a stock of celery resting on its clean roots that measured 

 3 ft. tall and 10 in. around." He speaks also of a crop of potatoes grown by 

 an acquaintance at Eagle City averaging the grower $1.00 a hill. 



Cou> Storage for Apples. — Minnesota orchardists will be interested 

 equally with those of Iowa in the results of the experiment referred to in the 

 following: 



"The Horticultural Department of the Iowa Experiment Station has one hun- 

 dred barrels of standard varieties of Iowa apples in cold storage to determine 

 the relative keeping qualities of the varieties, the length of time they may be 

 held successfully and the best temperature for storing. 



"The Experiment Station at Ames is receiving many inquiries from those 

 who contemplate building storage plants both for private and commercial use. 

 It is a line along which little experimenting has been done, and a subject of 

 special importance to the fruit growers of the Northwest, since we cannot raise 

 successfully the long keeping varieties of the East."
