Edw. Erkel, Le Sueur, n i n n ., 
writes us as follows: *'I have noth- 
ing but praise for the Minnetonka 
Apple, out of 9 trees purchased of 
5'ou, 7 are alive and doing finely, 
i was obliged to thin out fruit as 
it was too heavy for the trees, 
picked 10 bushels and there was 
plenty of fruit left."
