AN OLD APPLE-TEEE. 



BOONVILLE, Mo. , Dec. 12, 1891. 

 1. A. Goodman, Ti-enton, Mo. : 



Dear Sir— I send today. In care of C. C. Bell, some specimens of what I have named 

 "Improved Janet" apples, that I wish to have placed on exhibition at your meeting, and 

 desire to have special attention called to them, from the fact that they grew on trees 52 

 years old, as can be proved by the man who planted the trees, Mr. R. B. Bacon, a re- 

 spected citizen of Boonville. The trees stand in a pasture field, and tlie past season stock 

 tramped around the trees and ate all the fruit they could reach I am propagating this 

 apple, and find It makes a much better and stockier tree In the nursery row, and also heav- 

 ier foliage, than the ordinary Janet. If the Society thinks it worthy and can find a more 

 appropriate name than above, please have it named. Wishing you a successful meeting, 

 lam, ^ Yours respectfully, 



H. W. Jenkins. 



We, your committee, would report that the apple exhibited by H. W. Jenkins, Boon- 

 -vlUe, Mo., Is Rawles' Ganet, to our best belief, by majority report.
