SeedIess Apple Discovered.

A seedless apple tree, bearing a
sweet apple that looks something
like the sheep-nose, has been found
on the farm of G. e. Bell, at Esk-
ridge.
Samples of the apple were received
by the State Horticultural Society,
and next spring an effort is to be
made to propagate them by grating
the buds from this tree, the same as
grating is done in other trees.
1t is believed a variety of seed
less apples will be developed. The
tree on Mr.. Bells farm has been
bearing three years. There is no
sign of a seed, but there is a small
core, which apple men think can be
entirely removed by careful propaga-
