Fine Apples Grown Here.

A fine sample Of the apples which
can be grown in this section, was
brought in the latter part Of the week
by Mr.. N. L. Kinney, which he raised
on his. farm located at the village
limits. The sample is the Titofski
variety, and are for fall eating.
The trees were set out year ago
last May, and are about five years old.
The apples brought to US measured
104 inches in circumference and
weighs ounces, and are as fine fruit
as can be raised in any part of the
state. Mt. Kinney also has crab
apple trees that are bearing we'll.
The trees were received from the A.
D. Barnes Nursery of Waupaca and
the above is good sample of the most
desira BILE fruit trees for this section
that can be obtained at that nursery.
We hope in the near future to be able
to call this county one of the best
fruit centers of the state, and by the
way that our farmers are planting
orchards, the time is not far away.
Call at this Office and see the sam
pie. Mr.. Kinney is the local agent
for the above nursery, and those COB
templating the starting of an orchard
should avail themselves of the OPP
portunity to get the varieties best
adapted to this country.
