Virginia is well represented at the first
Washington Apple Show, now being held
in the basement of the new Masonic
Temple, and Virginia is fully entitled to
this representation, for during the past
fifteen years she has come to be known
as one of the great apple-producing
States OF the Union. Virginia is the
home Of the far-famed Albemarle pippin,
which graced the table of his majesty
King Edward VII, and which is known
over a good portion OF the globe for its
lusciousness and inimitable flavor.
But the Old Dominion's fame as an
apple producer is not based alone on the
AIbemarle pippin, for there are sections
of Virginia-particularly the counties of
the Shenandoah Valley-where apple
growing is now carried on on a ver-'
large scale, and where some of the best
commercial apples on the market are
grown.
In the counties of Frederick, Clarke.
Warren, Shenandoah, Rockingham, and
Augusta, thousands OF acres OF land are
now planted in healthy apple trees, and
modern scientific methods are applied to
the business of fruit culture, with the re-
suit that close to a million barrels of
big, Juicy, marketable apples are grown
in these counties annually. And these fig
ures are aproximated, the total number
