Little more than a century ago, thir-

THE POPULAR PIPPIN.

There is no more delightful fruit for
general use than the apple, ard yet
those who have lived in cities the past
winter have been obliged to pay rather
a large price for this desired food 1t
has been difficult even to procure two
fair apples for 5 cents. and many good
toothsome ones have sold for a nickel
apiece. This scarcity of a popular
fruit has been much depiored, for it's
use is sometimes better than medicine.
But the apple crop while a failure in
was not wholly so. In the Old Domin-
ion, as Virginia IS called. there liz an
even climate that gives fruits O. very
good chance. In 1897 there was one farm
on which the apple crop sold for sl5.
geo and another on which IL brought
$4,000. The apples i'm these orchards
were principally OF the variety known
as the Newtown Pippin, and there were
buyers, Englishmen searching eagerly
for this one fruit which they wanted
for export. Why, many persons will ask
should they have been SO anxious to
obtain Newtown Pippins when there are
other apples just as good to look at and
as pleasant TO the taste? II is due to the
fact that these are the special kind that
several years ago pleased Queen Vie
toria. Immediately the whole British
nation called for the same article. and
from that day to this II has been con-
sidered the choicest in existence. 1t IL

ginia was lucky because It happened to
be planted widely in that state.
