our thanks for treat to quantity
OF his fine Stayman winesap apples.
Mr.. Good states that he has large
crop this year, and they are as fine
as we have ever seen or tasted
large. perfect fruit that appeals at
once to the sight and taste. Mr..
Good is making a success of his or
chards, and we are indeed glad of
this fact. He is the first man who
has given serious thought to apple
growing in this Immediate vicinity,
and he has demonstrated the fact that
| right here we can grow as good fruit

have seen apples. much inferior to
his, that had been shipped here from
hundreds Of miles distance. and COM
manding large prices. We wish for
Mr.. Good that full measure Of success
that his efforts so we'll deserve.
