In former generations dried apples
were an essential element in every
well-stocked larder. No social gath.
ering was more interesting in former
times than the apple bee, when both
the old folks and the young gathered

The best varieties Of apples grow
in the temperate zones. where the
summer is hot and not too short, late
frosts in the spring being peculiarly
destructive Of the fruit. How these
varieties originated IL one Of the mys-
teries of science, for no one can tell
when he plants the seed Of an apple
what the fruit will be.
Apples have been cultivated from
the very earliest times, the remains of
them having been found in the ruins
Of the prehistoric lake dwellings of
Switzerland. while, II we give the or

of Eden. but it Is difficult to tell the
exact meaning Of the words applied to
objects which existed In prehistoric
times. Many commentators suppose
that, in early times, the word apple"
was q designation Of any fruit that
emitted fragrant odors. But from all
we Know Of the earliest varieties of
apples, they would scarcely have been
a temptation to Eve, for even as late
as the times of Pliny, the only apple
known was q crab, "a wilding," upon
which many a foul and shrewd curse
was poured on account of its sour.

The apple Is most valuable food,
