How TO Choose Oranges.— The sweetest 
oranges generally have rusty-looking coats. An 
English expert says: — "Pick out the dingiest in 
the box, and yon will get the best." Aiiother 
test is weight. The heaviest oranges have the 
thinnest linds. Thick-skinned fruit is apt to be 
dry inside. A slight freezing on the tree causes 
this condition in otherw ise fine fruit. The " kid- 
glove " oranges are the two varieties grown in 
Florida from stocks respectively brought from 
China and Tangier. The Glen Retreat orange of 
Queensland is a very fine-skinned heavy orange, 
and is amongst the best, if not the best of our 
mandarins. — Queensland Agncultural Jourual,
