There was a fine display OF home

only the easily grown crabs but a fine
display Of fully developed and excep-
tionally tasty sweet apples.
They were grown by Mrs. Andrew
Holes of Moorhead who has had re-
marlable success in making things
grow this year. She has grown all
her fruit on her lot inside the city
limits of Moorhead and from her few
trees has sc d over forty bushels of
splendid sweet apples, which are de-
licious as eating apples.
Her crabapple trees bore so prolific
" that the branches had to be propped
UP. The crabs are an excellent va
riety and they took on pink bloom
which rivals the finest Peachblow
ever seen.
Several small branches, each loaded
with dozens Of the crabs are on dis
play at the bank, but the sweet an
pies were so tasty that the boys in

them, although a few were saved for
display.

orchards could not be made to nav
