A'an Deman, formerly po-mologist in the United States depart-, ment of agriculture, is contemplating a work similar to that of the Into Charles Downing on "Fruits and Fruit-Tree, of America." The belief is growing that llusninii apples are going to make a great apple growing region of a vast extent of' country in which apple culture on this continent has heretofore been impossible.
