THE APPLE.
Famous In All Ages From the Most
Remots Periods.

Famous In All Ages From the Most
Remots Periods.
From the most remote periods the
apple has been the subject of praise
among writers and poets. The allie
gorical tree of knowledge bore ap-
piles, and the fruit Of the orchards
Of Hesperus, guarded by the sleep
less dragon, which it was one of the
triumphs of Hercules to STAY, were
also apples.
Among the heather gods Of the
north there were apples tabled to
possess the power of comforting i'm
mortality, which were carefully
watched over by the goddess Iduna
and kept for the especial dessert of
the gods who felt themselves grow
ing old
AS the mistletoe grew chiefly on
the apple and the oak, the former
tree was looked upon with reverence
by the Druids, and even TO this day
in some parts of England the GUS
tom of saluting the apple tree in
the hope of good crops fingers
among farmers.
The apple is most perfectly nat
uralized in America, and in the
northern and middle portions of
the United States succeeds as well
as or, as We believe, better than in
any other part of the world.
No fruit is more universally liked
than the apple. 1t is exceedingly
wholesome and incidentally is con-
sidered cooling and laxative and use
fol in all inhammatory diseases. As
the earliest sorts npen about the
last of June and the latest can be
preserved until that season, it may
be considered as fruit in perfection
the whole year.
Besides its merits for the dessert,
the value of the apple is still greater
for the kitchen, and in sauces, pies,
tarts, preserves and jellies and roast
ed and boiled this fruit is a constant
and invaluable resource of the kitch-
sn.--New England Grocer.

Palms For Palm sunday Are No
Longer Imported.
The fact is not generally known"
remarked a Washington florist, that
practically all the palms used on Palm
Sunday in the churches OF this city are
grown in the United States The COM
mon impression seems 10 be that the
plants come from foreign climes. This.
however. is mistake. Years ago they
did, but Immense nurseries have been
established in Philadelphia and about
New York, where they are grown from
seeds secured from Arabia and other
tropical countries"
How about the little spriss OF palms
that are distributed TO congregations
"Oh. they are native TO this country"
was the reply. They are strippings
from the palmetto trees found so plen-
tifully In the gulf states. The process
OF gathering them is somewhat inter
esting. too" the florist continued after
seeing an immense plant properly
placed ON the wagon. The work Of
gathering the sprigs for Palm Sunday
throughout the United States has
grown 20 large proportions. and many
hundreds OF people are employed.
The best palmetto plants are TO be
found in the dense swamps and bayous.
Only the young leaves that are as yet
curled mp and not sprrad are selected
and plucke1. As there are not many on
one plant IL necess'tates considerable
work 10 gather a large quantity These
coiled up leaves are nearly white. They
are packed In crates and shipped to
New York. Philadelphia and western
dealers. where the small sprIgs TO be
given out TO the congregations are se
Iected. Washington Post
