Getting on in the 
World 
Three big cross- 
bred Burbank apples 
are here shown in compari- 
son with three tiny wild 
apples, the latter probably 
not very different from 
the parent forms from 
which the cultivated apple 
originated. Note the simi- 
larity in the outward ap- 
pearance of the fruit, rot- 
withstanding the enor- 
mous disparity 
in size.
