And when he came to sell it to a buyer on 



the floor 

 He added on his profit and a half a dollar 



more. 



The man who shipped. that barrel stuck his 



label on it, too, 

 And talked of early freezes and the damage 



that they do ; 

 The man to whom he shipped it said the 



grower's price was high 

 And raised the price two dollars mere than 



in the days gone by. 



The man who stored that barrel told of 

 shortage in the pick, 



Of scale and other pests that make the 

 apple orchards sick. 



And he put on five dollars to the cumulat- 

 ive price — 



And 80 it went, each handler taking out 

 his little slice. 



O, when ycu eat this apple, may it fill 



you with delight

and each bite. 

 And, O, be glad you do not live so very 



far away 

 From where the apple started, for think 



what you'd have to pay!

and pack his primes, 

 He can safely add the dollars where the 



western men get "dimes."
