GIVES TRUE HISTORY OF
WINTER BANANA APPLES
The IWtlni'd Journal contains the
fallowing foiiinuii'iei.rion:
Cornelius, (Jr., Die. I". To the Kdi
tor of the Journal: In reading your
market quotations of Dei-ember (J 1 note
a criticism on flu- Winter I'.anana ap
ple, as being a "ciiceit," wliich means
n "fraud." On those grounds I beg
leave tu differ wiih the nport. First,
you say it is a pretl apple like the
Iten Mavis, but no! good keeper. I lie J
Iteu Mavis is a n i a:ple. If such an j
aiip! ' has bc-u put on the market at u
Wh.tir Itaiiana then it is a fraud of
the worst kind. The Winter Itanana
proper is not a pretty apple, but it is
a good kepeer. and I think you -will find
it a green apple, with u slight blush
mi ono side and faintly nipped in the
blush. Such is the apple I have re-
lived as the Winter Itaiiana. .And fur
ther, my authority is of the best re
specting the apple and its origin.
The genuine Winter Ha nana was
brought from Germany about . 'tM years
ago ami planted on the farm of a Mr,
Wolfe on (lie Tualatin. It has always
been a good keeper on that placv ami 'i
choice apple, although not a pretty one.
The original tree is yet growing there
ami is about ltd feet high. I think, if I
mistake not. It is a fine-bearer and a
good keeper. The tToes on that farm ;
were all brought from Germany as 1 ,
ei'.l before. H i years ago. Such is the
correct origin and descrint ion of the
Wilder Itanana. Therefore if the mar-.'
ke reporter is co'rrect in his version (
of the fruit on the market, then the I
apple he speaks of is a base fraud audi
Iho-ie persons selling them should be:
prosecuted. There have been very many'
flees sold mi the strength of the fruit
being a g I keeper. !
