BUY MAINE APPLES.
H. H. Lee, in Kennebec journal,
Gives Some Points.

III. H. Lee, in Kennebec Journal,
Gives Some Points.
The writer has often thought that
it was shame, that Maine men and
women know so little about the
leading fruit of our State.
The average housekeeper picks
up the telephone, calls her grocer,
and orders a peck, Cor half peck)
of apples, Barring, Baldwins or
Macintosh Reds. The average
woman knows no more what to ask
for. as the season passes along, than
one would who lived where the ap-
pie was unknown.
There is an apple for nearly every
month in the year, and one OF the
worst things a grower, or seller
of apples can do is to put them ON
the market before they are ready
for use.
Just now all Of the leading stores
are supplied with the best apples In
the world, Macintosh Reds, an ap-
ple that has no equal. someone
says. ooh yes, but they are so nlgn'
and then turn around and Duy
dozen small oranges from SO to W
cents per dozen.
oranges are healthful, no ques-
tion about that, but so are apples.
MANY Of us feel that, If anything,
the apple has just little better
effect on the average consumer IN
noint Of creating an appetite, as well
AZ regulating the digestive organs
than does the orange.
Buy apples through the coming
holidays eat them, send them 10
vonr friends-nothing you can DO
would please them more.
How long has it been since you
sorved baked apples? What dessert
oen The wife place on the table that
costs 90 little and tastes so gooo!
Bnt don't think you can BAKE
"any old apple" and be pleased
p;cI ont a large smooth Baldwin
Wv Raxter. or a Fallawater, bake
II SLOWLY, pour little cream or gooa
r;ck milk over it sprinkle WIN
sugar II you do not enjoy II thefe
is Something wrong with you.
In closing allow me to tell you
sonoathing that is worth your con-
81 daration: Refuse to buy apples
Ior anv other fruit) that has peea
exnosed to the sun for any length OF
time Heat and the sun CATER the
fruit is off the tree) will ruin the
favor faster than you think.
Just try bringing plate OF tra1.
from your cellar, eat one then 'e Now Now
cool. crisp and delicious it is. NOW
leave that same plate of apples on
your dining room table, and in the n
evening try them again. Warm, in
sipid. lost their crispness ana
portion of the flavor.
Keep fruit cool!
And by all means buy Maine ap-
pies, demand them. Maine grows
the best in the world. Just SO soon
as you, the ones who create the ae-
mand, ask for Maine apples and re-
fuse to accept any other, then the
number of growers that cater to the
better class of trade, will increase,
and before long, Maine apples'
properly graded, and put up IN
packages that will please the buyers,
will take the position that rightfully
belongs to them-the lead.
