FIRST APPLE TREE
In NORTHWEST

Records and photographs in the pos
session of the Western Washington
Horticultural Association in regard to
the early days Of the apple industry for
the Pacific Northwest develop some in
teresting facts. The first known bear
ing tree is still producing fruit, and is
being cared for by the association. 1t
seems that in 1924 DR.. John McLough-
lin, governor for the Hudson Bay Com
pany West of the Rocky Mountains,
located the headquarters of his COM
pany on the terrace sloping up from
the north bank of the Columbia river
where now the city of Vancouver,
Washington, and Vancouver Barracks
are situated. In connection with this
settlement is found the first record of
the coming of the apple into the
Northwest-th1n called the Oregon
country.
The first account of this historic
tree. which was then about ten years
old, was written by Mrs. Marcus Whit
man. She was staying at the home of
DR.. Mclaughlin at Fort Vancouver
while her husband, the pioneer mis-.
sionary, DR.. Marcus Whitman, was in
Walla Walla county looking for a loca-
| tion. An extract from her diary under
date of September l, 1886. reads as
follows
81 must mention the origin of these
apples. A gentleman, twelve years
ago, while at party in London put
the seeds of the apppes which he ate
in his vest pocket. Soon afterwards
he took voyage to this country and
left them here. Now they are greatly
multiplied"
Another story of this old tree, not
inconsistent with the quotation from
Mrs. Whitman's diary, is as follows:
''At a dinner party in London about
1925, given in honor of some young
gentlemen in the employ of the Hud-
son Bay Company who were about to
embark for Fort Vancouver, seeds
from the apples eaten were playfully
into the waist-cOat pockets of the young
men and upon their arrival at their
destination, the young men, in over
hauling their Wardrobes, discovered
the seeds and gave them to Jim
Barnes, the gardener at the fort. "
The seeds produced, among others, the
now famous apple tree at the Vancou-
yer Barracks.
The story is also told that after sew
eral years of waiting one of the trees
bore an apple. which when ripe, was
picked by DR.. Mclaughlin and care
fully cut into seventeen slices. One
precious slice of the luscious fruit was
served to each person at the Governors
table. The next year the tree bore
twenty apples. and the old tree is still
bearing fruit.
