ALICE

A LICE, c~uriously enough, is a
a mans name, not a woman's.
Originally it was given TO the sons
of the family. and is. without doubt,
derived from the Angle-Saxon Adel-
gis. of which the feminine form vas
Adelgisa. II means noble, in both
its masculine and feminine forms.
1t is clear that Alice represents
Adelgis and not Adelgisa, and that
the proper feminine form would be
Aliza. Some believe that Eliza. gen
orally thought to be a d~erivative of
Elizabeth. is this missing form. For
proof of AIiza as the representative
of Adelgiza, the Liber Vitae of Dur
ham records the changes in Adelgiza
from the first noble lady of that name
who laid her gifts upon the altar. By
contraction It became by steps AIDE
liza, Aaliza. and Aliza.
Aallza is still given TO daughters
of noble families in Europe. Adaliz.
Adliz and finally Ais, are other con-
fractions. Alicia is a derivation
which represents an effort at euphony
lacking In Alisa, but Alison is not so
derived as is popularity supposed. but
has a completely different origin.
Aloe is purely English with a slight
T%eutonic favo-. since another ex-
planation Of its origin is that the
name is derived from the feminine
Adalbert or Adelchen, signifying
daughter in FARMLAND. Alix or
Alisa in Lombardy was natHralized in
England when Alix la Belle married
Henry I.

New Jersey Farmer Sold Freak
Branch Which Bore New
Variety of Fruit.
BOUGHT BY NURSERY FIRM
Owner Was Paid $1,000 and VIII Get
Two Cents for Each Bud That
Is Developed-Will Be SUBJ
iected to Exhaustive Tests.

Terrell, N. ia wire cage has been
constructed around the $4,000 apple
tree in the orchard of Lewis Mood, a
farmer living at Ferrell, in South Har-
rison township, Gloucester county.
Mood recently sold a branch from this
particular tree, producing an entirely
new variety of apple, to one of the big
nursery firms Of the country for what
is said to be a record breaking price for
this fruit.
The public will have to walt two
years or more before it can learn very
much about the Mood apple, as 1t is
being guarded with the greatest
secrecy, indicated by the erection of
the stout wire cage entirely around
the tree. All that Is known so far is
that 1t is a red apple of exceptional
size and sweetness. There Is no other
apple just like it In this country, SO
far as, horticultural experts have peer
able 10 determine.
To Be Tested.
This new variety will be subjected te
the nos exhaustive tests under varl
GUS climatic and soil conditions
throughout the United States, before
the nursery firm which has bought 1t
Is willing to place it upon the market.
Orchard science as applied through top
budding viii make 1t possible to pro-
duce the new fruit in quantities large
enough for experimental purposes with
in a year or two.
The new apple is purely an accident
Of nature, being a freak from one of
the ordinary orchard varieties. Mood
noticed several years ago that one o
the branches Of a particular tree in
his orchard was bearing an apple that
was different, both in color and flavor
from the fruit from other limbs on the
same tree. He watched this apple care
fully for season after season. He took
off some buds and started other trees

Wire Cage for
$4,000 Tree

The big red Mood apples were in such
demand among his customers that last
season he sold SIS worth of apples
from the original tree alone.
Nursery Men Interested.
"A representative Of a nursery com
pany learned that the Jersey farmer
had an apple that was attracting atten-
ton and he called to see Mood. 81 had
thought of trying to put out this new
apple myself" said Mood In talking Of
his find" 81 put a price on the apple
that I thought would keep those fel
lows from Fostering me about selling.
They got the head Of the company here
to look over the apple and to see the
tree and we came to terms"
Just what these. terms are are Sc
forth in a bill of sale and q surveyors
record of the exact location of the
tree, which have been filed in the Glou
cester county clerks office at Wood
bury. Even the particular branch of
the tree Is designated In this unusual
record.
