THE SPENCER sEEDLEss APPLE
An Expert investigates 1t and Makes
Flattering Report.

There has been much adverse criti-
cism OF the Spencer Seedless Apple,
notably in the Rural New Yorker and
some of its satellites. The opinion OF
a recognized horticulturist, who has
made a thorough examination Of the
apple, being allowed free range in the
orchard where they are grown, should
be valuable to those who are thinking
of planting these trees, as we'll as to
those who by reason Of the criticisms
have been deferred from purchasing.
A company was recently organized in
Canada to handle the Spencer Seedless
Apple trees, but the adverse criticisms
alarmed the organizers, and they re-
fused to proceed further with the nego-
tiations until they could have the prop
osition thoroughly examined by an ex-
perienced horticulturist of reputation OF
their own selection. This was readily
assented to and as result the Hon.
John DRYDEN, who for more than TWEEN
ty years was minister of agriculture for
the province of Ontario, was selected to
examine and report on this apple
The Hon John Dryden's name is q
household word in Canada and Great
Britain, and his reputation is such a;
will carry great weight wherever he il
known. His report is most fatterint
and an unqualified endorsement OF thu
apple. A copy of it is sent free upoI

with:
1t has been observed with regret that
numerous sensational stories concern
ing alleged mad dogs and the terrible
results to human beings bitten by them
are published from time to time. Such
accounts frighten people into various
nervous disorders and cause brutal
treatment of animals suspected OF mad
ness: and yet there is upon record
great mass of testimony from physi-
clans asserting the extreme rarity Of
hydrophobia even In the dog, while
many medical men Of wide experience
are of the opinion that IL 1t develops
In human beings at all 1t Is only on ex-
tremely rare occasions; that the con-
ditlon Of hysterical excitement in man
described as "hydrophobta' is merely a |

or bitten by animals suspected Of
