Phillip G. Rand's PIppIns.

In this country apples are generally
apples, particularly II they are grown
In this state and are of the pippln va
riety. The other day we received a
box Of pippins from Philip G. Rand Of
Meriden, and they were so evidently
apples that we inquired OF him about
them. Part of his reply runs thus:
answering your inquiry, they are
known as the Albemarle pippin and are
an improved variety of our Newton
pippin; they are grown on the Blue
Ridge mountains. / first found them in
1895 at Charlottesville, Va, where there
is a story current that Jefferson when
our minister to England took some to
queen Victoria, and the royal family
have since had them yearly"
This tradition about Thomas Jeffer-
son and Queen Victoria is as lame as
many Of the stories told about the APP
pie, Jefferson having finished his dip
lomatic work in Paris and London in
1888, and Queen Victoria not having
been born until 1919. But there Is no
lameness about the Albemarle pippin.
1t Is as fruity and cheering as good
wine-not the sickly champagnes, but
as Chateau Yquem or Chambertin. 1t
Is an apple that " ould have graced the
garden Of Eden, and that would not
have te make excuses to the peach OF
Khorasan. We are sorry that Thomas
Jefferson and Queen Victoria and the
Albemarle pippin did not get together
for each one OF the three missed a good
thing; but IL Mr.. Rand has any royal
friends In Europe today we hope that
he will remember them as he did US
to the end that they may learn what q
fairly perfect apple is.-Hartford Cou-
rant.
