THE HITCHING S APPLE 
In the issue of "The Hural New Yorker" of September 30, 1911, Mr. Col- 
ingwood says: "Last week at Syracuse I saw the new Apple (Hitchings) 
growing in the Hitchings orchard. Tlie tree appears to be just like the Twenty 
Ounce in shape and size but the fruit is quite distinct, being a dark red with 
most of the stripes obscured in the solid color. The flavor appears to be 
superior to the oidinary Twenty Ounce."
