The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Union Trust Co. was

per cent. on stock, have been de-
clared, and a substantial amount
carried to the profit and loss account.
Attention was called by the presi-

of the executive board was nearly

Seedless and Coreless Apples.

Seedless and coreless apples are
being grown near Abbotsford, Cana
da, it is announced at the Depart
ment of Commerce. Consular adj
vices say that with the exception of
a slight marking on the interior of
the apple, which outlines the loca-
ton of the core, there is neither core
nor seeds.
1t differs slightly in shape from
the ordinary apple by being longer
and flatter at the ends than the ordi-
nary apple but with the same color
ing and flavor.
The apples were produced on or
binary fameuse trees which had been
top grated on Rabka seedlings.
Officials of the department said
that this is the first instance, as far
as the records of the government
show, where a seedless and coreless
apple has been produced.
