THINNING OF FRUIT.
The thinning of the fruit crops is n matter that sometimes needs attention. Almost every season there are some varieties that so;t more fruits than the trees should, bo allowed to carry, or can properly mature. With apples, especially if culinary varieties, there need be no waste, as there is always a demand for those as soon as they are large enough for cooking. Nearly all imported apples are dessert varieties and are of little value for kitchen use, so that if tho local grown, even if but little moro than half grown, are good culinary varieties, they find a ready market at remunerative prices. Japanese plums have in many instances set phenomenal crops and will need' a considerable amount of thinning to enable the trees to develop anything like fully i matured fruit*
