JOHNSTON'S FINE WINTER.
The original apple tree from which
New York derives fame as the producer
OF Johnston's fine winter apple was
product of Rockbridge county, and was
on the Johnston farm. on South Buffalo.
A school teacher, Charles Tidd, in 1883,
carried to New York shoots Of this tree.
and from them came this apple. Sprouts
in recent years taken from around the
trunk OF this original old tree are now
producing this apple. Other varieties of
equal value are to be obtained in that
part of Rockbridge, and are equal in
keeping qualities to the finest apple of
this day. They only need an introducer
like the old-time schoolmaster.

Trinity Methodist Church has slightly

known as the Epworth League of Chris
