MASSACHUSETTS APPLES. 



We have just examined a collection of apples, 

 comprising 25 varieties, received by EUwanger &, 

 Barry, of the Mount Hope Nurseries, from S, W. 

 Cole, Esq., of the "Boston Cultivator." These, 

 with two or three exceptions, are entire strangers to 

 Western New Yorl?;, and many of them are superior 

 fruits. We have not space at present to notice or 

 describe the varieties minutely, but will do so in fu- 

 ture numbers, E. fe B. are now making up a col- 

 lection of winter apples, of the favorite varieties of 

 this region, to send in return to Mr. Cole ; and we 

 have reason to believe they will be in no way dis- 

 creditable to our orchards. 



We would take this occasion to recommend this 

 system of exchanging fruits, to all who feel an inte- 

 rest in fruit culture, as one great means of eftecting 

 improvement. The nurserymen and orchardists of 

 the different sections of the country should send to 

 each other specimens of their kinds, so that a compa- 

 rison might be made, errors detected, and valuable 

 kinds made known and disseminated. 



i''armers, and others who may have choice fruit in 

 their collection, can give valuable aid in this matter, 

 by sending a few specimens of each to the " Ro- 

 ■chester Seed Store,^' or the "Mount Hope Nursery." 



They may be enveloped in paper, or packed i ' oats 

 or shorts, to keep them from freezing or bruis ng by 

 'carriage. 



The name by which each variety is known may be 

 written on the ])aper enveloping the fruit ; or the 

 specimens may be nvimbered, anJ the names written 

 opposite the numbers, on a dip of paper. 



American Imports. — Wi.mer's Liverpool News 

 Letter states that the farmers in the cheese manu- 

 facturing districts are in a state of the greatest a- 

 larm at the recent immensely increased importation 

 of American produce, but more particularly of that 

 staple. The hay sent hither during the last season 

 was not of that prime quality to command an extensive 

 end profitable sale, though at one period there was a 

 scarcity of the article in consequence of the long 

 drought, which was, however, corrected by a plenti- 

 i'lil aftermath. The pork would be well received in 

 England, if the English mode of cutting and pack- 

 ing were adopted. But in cheese, with an improved 

 method of churning and making, an immense deal 

 may be done. It has already superseded nearly all 

 the quantities of that article formerly imported from 

 Holland, and the efforts of the American population 

 engaged in its production, should now be directed to 

 a competition with Cheshire—the seat of England's 

 finest sample of the article. The land owners and 

 farmers of the adjucent counties have taken the 

 alarm, and met to discuss the subject ; but they are 

 satisfied that there is not the slightest chances of 

 their getting any additional duty imposed on Amer- 

 ican produce Ijy the government, and their only 

 hope of excluding it from the British market, is on 

 the score of its inferiority ; and in the circumstance 

 that the factors have already begun to complain of 

 its quality. We should recommend that more time 

 should be taken in the manufacture of cheese, in 

 America, that a greater pressure should be applied 

 to it, that they should be made of greater depth and 

 less breadth than at present, that they should be 

 packed in caslcs, separated by thin greased boards, 

 and that the factors should be allowed 120 lbs. to 

 the cwt., the Cheshire manufacturers being about to 

 give only 112 lbs.
