Memories
often at night when the toll is DER,
And the stars appear in the dome of
blue,
When the colors of sunset pale and
glow,
And the western sky Is brilliant

When the darkness sweeps over land
ana sea,
When breezes sigh and the night
grows cold.
I long for the faces that used to be,
For the laugh and song of the days
Of old.

Fruit Experts Of
80 States View
Marvel Apple

Monroeyille, N. Jan obscure
Jersey orchard is believed to have
produced the marvel apple of the
age, according to fruit experts
from thirty states, who recently
inspected the new find on the
farm of Lewis Mood, at Terrell,
Gloucester county. A nursery firm
has paid $4,000 tor the new ap-
pie.
The apple was formally christen-
ed Stalking. 1t derives from the
Delicious apple, aristocrat of the
fruit family A leak bud produc-
ed an apple similar to the Del;c-
ious in flavor but much redder in
color. The Starring also ripens
earlier than the Delicious and
colors much better on the trees,
experts said today.
Mood first noticed apples Of a
different color on Delicious tree
in his orchard eleven years ago.
He patiently watched the fruit
from single branch developed
year after year. He took the buds
and started a few other trees. His
customers were so eager for the
big red apples that he told a
nursery salesman about the freak
branch two years ago.
A large nursery firm drew up a
deed for the single branch of the
particular tree that produced the
new fruit and paid Mood $4,000 in
cash for it. Mood also has re-
ceived cents for each bud taken
to propagate the new variety
through extensive top budding and
grating. A stout wire cage was
placed entirely around the prize
tree after it was purchased and it
was kept under guard.
