We have in the",\Iinnetoiika ' the apple which we have been seeking to place in the 
hands of farmers of the Northwest for twenty years. We have worked hard for it 
lesting everything wliicn promised to be of value, until wccan now. and without hesita- 
tion, cry "Kureka -found at last." We were not satistied with one or two season's test 
im, but follow«l it up until we are now sure that we have a most valuable variety with J 
no doubts or guess work: furthermore we feel that we shall accomplisha benevolent work j 
by propogating and placing this variety in the hanils of the farmers of the West and North |
