W. c. Schue was up from Grand
Junction the first of the week selling
stock in the Home Nursery company
of that city just organized with the
following officers: J. +. Spencer,
president; d. Vawlmer, vice presi
dent and treasurer; E. l.. Green, sec
rotary and manager. The Home Nur
sery will graft and sell the seedless
and coreless apple which was propa
gated and grated by J F. Spencer,
he having worked some twelve years
to accomplish this one thing in the
apple line. 1t is absolutely new
thing in the apple line and is supposed
to work the same revolution in apple
growing it being an apple of won
derful keeping qualities, large. good
color. fine flavor. coreless and seed
less--that the origin of the seedless
oranges effected in the orange trade.
The apple bids fair to excel any vari
ETY. ever before grated and Mr.. Spen-
Ger deserves great credit for the zeal,
energy and skill displayed in grating
this variety, something many orch
ardists have tried for years to accom-
plish, but which remained for a
Grand valley man to succeed in do
ing. The company will graft some
$50, 600 trees from their present stock
this year to put on the market next
spring, then something like 1, 900, OOO
trees the year after. The propagation
of the seedless orange was said to
make u. 600. 600 out of his secret and
1t is believed that Mr.. Spencer 6
secret will prove equally as good. A
number of residents have purchased
stock, business and fruit men.
