Michigan apples have national repu-

fapples- in Michigan are raised in the
northern part of the state, is not so well
known. Old Mission, in Grand Traverse

county, understands the business thor

enough trees, and,safieient Varieties, and
care for them in such manner as to
thoroughly and satisfactorily settle this
matter.r When Col. Davis fails to make
a success of raising apples in this county,
we will coincide that apple culture here
will be failure, and that if we eat the
fruit, it must be imported.
