I take the liberty Of stating to you what little
information posses with r-gafi to tn. inquiry Of
your correspoD ient il the April number Of the
Farmer, r-sp~c ting apples without cores or seeds
Notwithstanding the in-r-dulity Of vour friend
to the practeabliity OF t.ias producing apples.
il is unqurstiouably true.
In 1888, learned from NV friend. s. :. ABB
bo,t Esq, now worthy aud intelligent a,tor-
ney Of Hamilton. y =. aud who takes much
interest III agricultural matters, the blowing:

school, there stood by the road si3n. near TIE
school house, barren apple tree. j. freak
one day. lie and his feo:1 school bows tore M the
tree bv the roots, and repinnt"d IT firmly III The
ground inreyfedty, with the roots n"Frrno-f.
