"Freak" apples, of which there were 

 many on display, have attracted much 

 attention. There is one Spiteznberg 

 apple with a quarter Newtown skin of 

 light green shade. The quarter could be 

 sliced out and an expert would declare 

 that it was from a Newtown. Another 

 odd apple is a Yellow Newtown with 

 two baby apples growing out of the skin. 

 They are flain and well developed. There 

 is a Baldwin with streaks of Arkansas 

 Black skin and another Yellow Newtow.n 

 is half a Baldwin, the color line being- 

 straight and distinct.
