ORTICULTURAL  literature  on 
the  practical  side  is  largely 
composed  of  reiteration  ;  some¬ 
times  we  have  to  repeat  our¬ 
selves,  more  frequently  we  are 
repeated  by  others,  or  repeat  them  ; 
but  we  may  satisfy  our  consciences 
that  such  is  the  experience  of  all 
teachers,  and  it  must  continue  so  while 
there  are  learners  to  be  taught.  These  remarks 
will,  I  hope,  prepare  old  readers  not  to  expect 
anything  fresh,  but  there  are  so  very  many 
ignorant  of  the  simplest  matters  connected 
with  Apple  culture  generally,  that  one  can 
hardly  miss  reaching  some  of  the  unlearned. 
First  may  be  noted  the  gathering  of  the  fruits. 
Cases  have  come  under  my  notice  this  year  of 
the  barbarous  practice  of  shaking  or  knocking 
off  the  fruits  and  then  gathering  them  off  the 
ground,  a  practice  that  not  only  damages  a 
great  proportion  of  the  fruit,  but  which  is 
also  hurtful  to  the  trees,  inasmuch  as  many 
buds  are  destroyed.  Next  in  degree  of 
viciousness  to  that  practice  is  that  of  twist¬ 
ing  off  the  fruits,  a  very  harmful  one  to  the 
trees  also,  as  many  buds  are  removed  in  the 
process.  The  only  good  method  is  to  raise 
each  fruit  gently,  which,  if  sufficiently  matured, 
will  become  detached  from  the  tree  in  a 
natural  manner  at  the  junction  of  the  stalk 
with  its  spur.  As  a  rule,  too,  Apples  are 
gathered,  with  perhaps  the  exception  of  the 
very  earliest,  before  they  are  quite  ready. 
Even  the  rough  and  ready  method  of  esti¬ 
mating  maturity  by  the  colouring  of  the  pips, 
is  not  to  be  depended  on,  lots  of  Apples  being 
better  to  hang  even  after  the  pips  have 
coloured.  But  the  least  commendable  practice 
of  all  is  the  too  prevalent  one  of  harvesting 
late  varieties  weeks  before  they  are  ready. 
The  result  inevitably  is  that  such  fruits  do 
not  keep  long,  and  consequently  one  main
