For u hat w as the finit glower striving

<|uality and a distinctiveness to it that
won!«! make it saleable ill the mark« ts
of tlw world no matter whether there
was a big cr »p or a small crop the
country over. In Frail« c Prof. Lake, who
was »« nt to that country l ist y ear by tlu
department of agricultur« to invistigate
their fruit industry, found th« specialty
idea carried to it» high« st point of per
fection. There l>< ing a «1« maud m Pari»,

fancy apples with monograms and other
designs, iniprniteil upon them tlu- alert
Fiemli grow« is took selected apples and
incased them in pap« r bigs soon after

from th« in ami preventing their« oloring.
Alwiut two weeks before the fruit was
ripe th«* sack was removed ami figures
cut from pajier wa re pastctl upon the
apple. The apple was then left exposed
to sun with the result that tlu tincov« red
part took on its natural blight ««»lor
while that i ' iivi r«-«l by the design remain
