APPLE BLOSSOMS IN STATE
Delaware, Delightful Spot to Mo-
tor Thru at This Season of Year
Motor Route Suogested

From now until about the 4th of
May is the time when most of the
apple trees in Delaware will be in
blossom. Those who visit the ap-
pie growing section this Sunday,
April 26. will find many trees in
full bloom, whereas, other trees
will be in the pink stage and will
not be in full bloom until three or
four days later Early Ripe and
Nero are the two earliest blooming
varieties and these will be in full
bloom on Sunday. Stayman is
perhaps the most important var
iety and with present weather con-
ditions, it is expected that this
variety will be in full bloom about
the middle or last of the week.
Later blooming varieties such as
Williams and Rome Beauties
should be in full bloom Sunday,
May 3, therefore, any one who de-
sires to view the beautiful bios
soming apple orchards may visit
the apple producing sections any
time during the next ten days and
not be disappointed. Most variet-
les of apple trees this year are
heavily set with blossoms and
there is no more beautiful sight
than acres and acres of we'll kept
apple trees at the time when they
are in full dress. The principal
commercial apple producing sec
tions of this State are in Kent and
Sussex Counties. An ideal trip
around this Sunday or any time up
until about the 4th of May would
