Cabbages. — A car of Southern cabbages 

 has just been received which sold at 'I3.50 to 

 $4.50 per crate. 



Onions. — The market is quiet and prices 

 are somewhat easier, Bermudas being offered 

 freely at f 1.50 per crate. 



Po/rt^ot'5.— There is a fair demand at the 

 cheap prices ruling, which has helped to in- 

 crease consumption. The sale of a carload 

 was made a few days ago at 42c per bag, but 

 the quality was very choice, and we quote 

 car lots 35c to 42c as to quality and jobbing 

 lots 45c to 60C. — Trade Bulletin, May 31.

Seventh Annual Report of the Board 

 OF Control of the New York Agricul- 

 tural Experiment Station, 1888. 



The report of the Horticulturist in this 

 volume, contains some points of interest to 

 us as fruit growers. One is the further trials 

 of hyposulphite of soda for the apple scab, 

 which go to prove that though not wholly 

 effective in ridding the fruit of this fungus, 

 it yet very much lessens the amount of the 

 injury, and well repays the slight additional 

 cost of adding it to the solution of Paris 

 green when spraying for the codling moth. 

 We notice that the proportion used in 1885 

 was one pound to ten gallons of water, and 



in 1888 only one ounce, and that the latter 

 was less effectual than the former.
