The four following conditions are necessary for the safe transport of these kinds of fruit:

1st To pick them a little before they are quite ripe.

2d. To wrap them and separate each one, with something elastic that they will not be bruised by each other.

3d. To use white wooden boxes of the lightest possible kind to pack them in, of a size adapted to the fruit. Not to have more than one or two layers of fruit.

4th. To fill the boxes just full enough to leave no room for shaking, that would displace the fruit.

Peaches should be packed with only one layer; placing rolls of paper round the side of the box, each peach wrap in one or two vine leaves separating them by oats. Finish by laying a roll of paper over the top. Thus packed, they will go, without any decay, from Marseilles to London.

Apricots, Plums and Figs should be packed in the same way, with the only difference of putting two layers in one box.

Cherries will bear to have three orfour layers. Strawberries are more difficult of transportation than any other fruit, on account of their consistence and rapidity of decay. Strawberries may be placed in dry earthen vessels holding about a quart.

Filled and covered with paper, they are laid in large baskets, one above the other, separated by straw. The strawberries then reach Marseilles after a two days' journey. We think that this kind of packing might be adopted everywhere, even for the largest strawberries, by leaving them on the stalk. - Heme Horticole.
