"A contract has been entered Into 67 Varieties of Apples There are people who have been led to believe that tbe Russian varieties of apples prnpofiated by J. B. Mitchell of the New Oregon Nursery fail to !iear fruit. Last Saturday Mr. Mitch ell brought us a basket containing 67 apples each one of a different variety from every other in the basket and he said he could have added a third as many more but for the rain which ^topped the work of gathering them. These apples were all produced upon the trees grown by Mr. Mitchell, each variety being well developed and pos sessing qualities that commend them to persons who desire an abundance •f fruit home grown upon their own farms, for family use. Among these varieties are several with keeping qualities that will keep ttiem to mirit •vinter, but by far the most of them ire late fall apples, and can be k\.*pt for winter use by cold storage. Pre* served by this means we have eaten of Duchess apples, whose season is -arly fall the April following, finding them as perfect as when gathered. What is known as the winter apple of the east, the Rhode Island Greening and the Roxbury Russet for instance do not stand the northern Iowa win ters, and therefore are not adapted to our climate. Tbe varieties \vhi :h ripen their fruit the earliest with stand our winters best-. A reason for tbis is that the new wood of each year ripens with or soon after its fruit. The winter varieties continue to late in the fall and do not ripen till in the winter for use hence the tree contin ues full of sap till winter sets in and is in the same condition as otber plant life that starts the winter green and full of sap. All these features Mr. Mitchell has tested fully and gives the farmer and fruit grower tlie benefit of his experience when pur chasing. He has spent hundred of dollars testing the hardiness of trees and their fruiting qualities, before putting them on the market for sale, and buying from his nursery pur chasers get the benefits of this expei i enceln fruit growing and in fruit cultivation.
