The Ben Davis is one of the very
poorest in quality of any apple grown
in America, yet there are more of these
trees planted and more money made
out of it than can be done with any
other apple. This is because Ben is a
handsome fellow. and good looks go a
long way. Then it is large and is a
first class keeper and shipper; besides
it is prolific producer. The better
types of apples are invariably deficient
in one or more of these qualities.
