English Bules for Preserving Fruits.

The London Garden gives the following as the rules of the Royal Horticultural Society for the preservation of choice fruits: 1. As the flavor of fruit is so easily affected by heterogeneous odors, it is highly desirable that apple and pear rooms should be distinct. 2. The walls and the' floor should be annually washed with a solution of quicklime. 3. The room should be perfectly dry, with as uniform a temperature as practicable, and lie well ventilated; but there should not be perfect draft. 4. Use the utmost care in gathering fruit, handling as little as possible. 5. For present use, fruit should be well ripened; but if for long keeping, it is better, especially with pears, that it should not have arrived at complete maturity. This point, however, requires considerable judgment. 6. No imperfect fruit should be stored with that which is sound, and all more or less decayed specimens should be immediately removed. 7. If placed on shelves the fruit should not lie more than two days, and no straw should be used. 8. Where especially clear and beautiful specimens are wanted they may be packed carefully in dry bran, or in layers of perfectly dry cotton or wool, either in closed boxes or in large garden pots. Scentless sawdust will answer the same purpose, but pine sawdust is apt to communicate an unpleasant taste. 9. With care, early apples may be kept till Christmas; while many kinds may be preserved in perfection to a second year. The rules given by American fruit-grow-ers agree very well with the above, but make especial mention that fruit-rooms for slow ripening should be nearly dark, and the temperature low. Light and heat hasten maturity, and next, of course, decomposition. •
