and sells slowly. 
The regular steamer to the West Indies was with¬ 
drawn this week, thus closing temporarllv the outlet

The Fifth Annual Banquet to florists, nurserymen 
and gardeners, provided for in the will of Henry 
Shaw, will be given at the Mercantile Club of St, 
Louis, Monday evening, November 6 . 
A Philadelphia man has been arrested and held 
for trial on a charge of embezzling a quantity of 
melons intrusted to him for sale, by a commission 
merchant It Is usually the commlsslpn merchants 
who are accused. 
The Eighth Annual Convention of the Association 
of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment 
Stations, opens at the Ebbltt House, Washington, 
D. C , Tuesday, November 13, at 10 o’clock, A. m. M. 
A. Soovell, secretary, Lexington, Ky. 
Recent receipts of live poultry have been the 
heaviest ever known. Three Jewish holidays within 
about two weeks, have made an extra demand: The 
Jewish New Year, October 1; the Feastof the Atone¬ 
ment, or Tom Kippur, October 10, and the Feast of 
Tabernacles. October 15 and IG. 
Export shipments of American apples during the 
week ending October G. were as follows; From the 
United States and Canada to Liverpool, 4i.326 bar¬ 
rels; from the United States and Canada to Glasgow, 
9,0G0 barrels: from the United States and Canada to 
London, 16,252 barrels; Total, 69,638 barrels. 
Arrangements have been made for shipping apples 
by the fast steamers of the American line, to Lon¬ 
don, via Southampton, in as good condition as to 
Liverpool, and the freight Is only 12 cents per barrel 
higher. The Arm of Otto G. Mayer & Co., New York, 
handles apples for all these markets, and will attend 
to all details for those wishing to ship. Only the 
best apples are wanted for the English markets, and 
it will not pay to ship anything else. 
Latest advices from Great Britain report a good 
demand for American apples, though large receipts 
have reduced prices somewhat. Sales were reported 
as follows at Glasgow and Edinourgb: Baldwins, 
$2.40 to $3 84 ; Greenings, $2.40 to $3 36; Spys, $2.88 to 
$3.84; Kings, $1.32 to $5.28; various other kinds, $2 40 
to $3 36. Liverpool quotes Baldwins at $2.88 to $3.60; 
Greenings, $3.78 to $3 12: Spys, $2.64 to $3.84. Some 
arrived in poor condition and sold for lo n prices. 
Larimeb Count v. Col.—I am growing one acre of 
potatoes for large yield, this season. I planted them 
one foot apart In rows two feet apart. I expect a 
yield of 5C0 bnshels or better per acre. 1 made some 
experiments last year with 72 varieties; some of 
them gave good results. My experiment this year is 
attracting some attention on account of the close¬ 
ness of planting. Would you care for a report of the 
yield for publication ? j. b. s. 
R. N.-T.—We would be pleased to receive the re¬ 
port with some further particulars as to methods of 
culture. 
WE WANT TO KNOW, YOU KNOW I 
[f you don't see what you want, ask far it. 
Picking Goosebekkies.— At what stage of ripe¬ 
ness should gooseberries be picked for market ? 
Salisbury, Mass j. h. 
Ans.— If for shipping, as soon as they mature, 
which may be known by their separating mure readily 
from the stems. There is nothing gained by allow¬ 
ing them to remain longer and much may be lost. 
Sometimes, market conditions may render It desir¬ 
able to leave them on a few days longer. 
Celery Quotations. —New York celery is quoted 
at 10 to 15 cents per dozen roots; Lung Island and 
Jersey $l to $1.60. Why all that difference? G. B. 
Ans —a typographical error made the Long Island 
and Jersey read per dozen roots instead of per dozen 
bunches. There Is so little uniformity in the methods 
of packing celery, that It is olflacult to make satis¬ 
factory quotations. The celery from this locality Is 
usually packed In bunches of three to six roots each. 
The Kalamazoo celery Is graded the best of any that 
comes to this market, it Is classlfled as Firsts, 
Seconds and Thirds. The Firsts contain one d )zen 
of the longest and finest root in each bunch. The 
Seconds contain, perhaps, 15 or 16, and the Thirds 20 
or more. There Is about the same amount of celery 
In a bunch of each, bat the lower grades have the 
sma lest and poorest roots. One reason why this 
celery sel.s for higher prices Is that It is alwavs uni¬ 
formly packed, and the buyer knows just what he Is 
getting. Any one who once bays, feels safe In buy¬ 
ing again. This Is true of any product tiat Is packed 
in an attractive and uniform manner. 
Pickling Houses.—W hat are the addresses of 
some pickling houses that would buy small onions? 
J. p. 
Ans —Pickle factories In this vicinity afford a poor 
market. There Is such an Immense market open to 
them for small onlois and similar stock, that they 
buy when prices are low, and do noi pay so much as 
storekeepers and other regular customers of the 
commission men. It would be poor policy to ship to 
them. Better ship to reliable commission mer¬ 
chants. 
The APPLE Crop. -Will The R N -Y. publish a 
statement In regard to the apple crop of the United 
States, and whether there will be much export de¬ 
mand? About what price Should we expect for our 
apples? I think this township will have about one- 
half or two-thirds of a crop, and few orchards near 
the Lake have some extra fine apples; one man ex¬ 
pects about 1,000 barrels, mostly Baldwins. 
Point Breeze, N. Y. A. m. a. 
ANS,—Hardly a Rural has gone out for some 
weeks back without more or less abont the apple 
crop. On page 577. we gave a summary of the con¬ 
dition of the apple crop throughout Europe, and the 
probable demand tor the British markets from this 
country. The situation Is this : The crop In this 
country Is short, though not so short as had been 
anticipated. Prices are giod, and likely to remain 
so. The European crop is very short, and the de¬ 
mand from there for American apples is a good one. 
Just now, heavy receipts. Incident to the general 
gathering of the crop, have ll'led the markets and 
prices are lower with slow sales. But this eondltlon 
Is only temporary. Elsewhere on this page will bo 
found several notes about American apples In the 
British markets. 
Peppermint Culture.-How can I get started in 
the propagation of peppermint? Can I get the roots 
by sowing the seed? Where can the seed be obtained, 
etc. ? In fact, I would like to know everything per¬ 
taining to the business. Will water covering the 
ground In the spring. Injure the crop? b. e. i>. 
St. Charles, .Mich. 
Ans Peppermint Is propagated from the roots, 
not from seeds. The roots are dug and planted In 
drills as close together as possible and leave room 
for cultivation. Roots may be obtained from grow¬ 
ers of peppermint. Water standing on the ground 
for any length of time, will destroy the plants. But 
what will you do with the crop after It is grown? The 
oil Is distilled from the plants, but as the necessary 
apparatus will be quite expensive, there mast be a 
large amount to distill to make it at all profitable. 
In localities where It Is cultivated, there are usually 
several who are engaged In the business, all of whom 
use the same still It will not pay any one Individual 
to go Into the business, unless on a large scale. 
.Some of the southern counties of .Michigan are en¬ 
gaged quite extensively In growing peppermint, and 
It would be better for any oae thlaklng of engaging 
In the business, to visit some of these growers. 
Potted Strawberry Plants —Does The R. N.- 
Y. sell potted strawberry plants from Its experiment 
grounds ? 1 have been unable to get any this fall 
Conn. C. H. G. 
Ans —The R. N.-Y. sella nothing in the way of 
plants or seeds. Many of the plant dealers advertis¬ 
ing In our columns offered potted strawberry plants. 
Crude Petroleum.—I have seen considerable in 
the papers about crude petroleum as a wood preserv¬ 
ative. 1 would like to try It. I have consulted 
several of our storekeepers, and as they do not keep 
It on hand, they claim that a single barrel of the 
crude oil would cost about twice as much per gallon 
as the refined oil, by the time it reached here. That 
seems to me to be all wrong. Can you put me In 
communication with some firm that will sell a barrel 
at a reasooable price ? j. l. m. 
D.catur County. Ind. 
Ans.—I t isn’t likely that It would cost twice as 
much, but It Is probably fully as expeaslve as the 
refined oil. A gentleman connected with the Stand¬ 
ard Oil Company Informs us that the by-products ob¬ 
tained in the distillation of the oil are so valuable 
that It pays better to distill it. But a small quantity 
of tne crude oil Is sold, and this only to accommo¬ 
date customers. The crude oil Is heavier than the 
refined, acd Is considered better for painting build¬ 
ings, tools, etc. Any of the large handlers of oil 
near you can supply It. Write to the Crystal Refin¬ 
ing Company, Toledo, Ohio.
