Australian Apples.

The large increase in our export of apples, of which a note has been made here, may easily be made still larger if our growers adopt the method of packing in use among the Australian shippers of this fruit. The German papers say that (Australian apples are now selling in Vienna at from 5 ,to 10 cents each, the choice ones bringing even more. The apples are not only juicy and of a fine flavor, but they are packed in long cases, each containing 100 apples, carefully selected, wrapped separately in tissue paper, and then in corn husks.
