The Rome Beauty Apple. 
In The R. N.-Y. of March 15 I see an 
article about the origin and early his¬ 
tory of the Rome Beauty apple, by R. 
J. Black, and I rise to correct a few 
statements and to add a little more. Joel 
Gillett brought the apple trees from the 
Putnam Nursery at Marietta, O., in the 
Fall of 1816, and they were set out in the 
Spring of 1817, just above Proctorville on 
the Morrison farm now. Mr. Gillett, his 
son, Alanson, and son-in-law, Thomas 
Gardner, set them out. The seedling 
sprout which came out below the graft 
was thrown out to Alanson when cut off, 
and he planted it and saved the seedling, 
which turned out to be the original Rome 
Beauty. Capt. H. N. Gillett was a cousin 
to Alanson. As to the origin of its name, 
the neighbors agreed to name it Rome 
Beauty from its home township and the 
appearance of the fruit soon after it began 
to bear well, probably about 1832, or 15 
years before the Ohio Pomological Society 
was organized. Solomon Churchill graft¬ 
ed the first five trees from the original, 
and Sidney Gillett 17; Thomas Gardner 
started in the nursery business about 1835 
and propagated largely from the Rome 
Beauty, and Capt. H. N. Gillett went into 
the business a little later. The original 
tree was set close to the. river bank, and 
the Ohio, when bank full, caused the 
bank to cave in a good many years ago, 
and the land on which the tree grew 
floated down the Mississippi to fill up 
some lower places. I have passed along 
the road many times near where it stood, 
and it is only about seven miles from 
where I live. The Joel Gillett mentioned 
was my great-grandfather, and ithe 
Thomas Gardner my grandfather. The 
latter was raised by Mt. Putnam, and 
after the Gilletts moved from Marietta to 
Lawrence County my grandfather came 
down the beautiful Ohio in a canoe to see 
his sweetheart, and getting married, he 
settled near and became prosperous. Alan¬ 
son Gillett, Capt. H. N. Gillett and Grand¬ 
father Gardner lived to be quite old, and 
I have seen them many a time, but all 
the old residents who remembered the 
setting of the original tree have passed 
away, the variety of fruit they were so 
proud of remaining to bless mankind.

BUSINESS BITS. 
The recent expressions of our readers 
seemed to favor gasoline engines above 
any other for farm work. The great de¬ 
mand for an engine just at this season is 
to cut the yearly supply of fire wood. The 
Charter Gas Engine Co., Sterling, Ill., 
show in their catalogue a rig with engine 
and saw mounted on an ordinary low¬ 
wheeled wagon, all ready for business. 
An outfit of this kind is easily moved from 
place to place, with little or no loss of 
time. The catalogue also shows pumping 
engines, and, in. fact, suitable engines for 
all farm work. 
If the time has come to replace the rot¬ 
ten old wood pump or the rusty iron one 
with something better, or you are sinking 
a new well, write to Cleveland Galvanizing 
Works, Cleveland, O., for catalogue de¬ 
scribing and illustrating their line fully, 
which is sent free to any reader of this 
paper. One special feature is their gal¬ 
vanized steel curb and tubing, infinitely 
better than wood, and more durable. The 
tubing has a purifying attachment which 
aerates the water constantly, giving it life 
and purity—something not attained by any 
competing device. They make their line 
on honor and sell it on its merits at prices 
that seem remarkably low. 
The Wheelbarrow grass seeder, as its 
name implies, is an implement of the 
wheelbarrow pattern particularly adapted 
to the sowing of Clover. Timothy. Alfalfa, 
Hungarian, flax; in fact, every kind of 
grass and small seeds. The seeds are scat¬ 
tered from the box, which is carried close 
to the ground, and thus avoids uneven 
distribution by reason of being carried 
away by the wind. For years it has had 
a wide and constantly growing use in all 
parts of the country, and its trial has al¬ 
ways been attended with uniformly satis¬ 
factory results. Any of our readers inter¬ 
ested in the matter of broadcast sowing of 
small seeds would do well to write to O. 
E. Thompson & Sons, Ypsilanti, Mich, for 
their catalogue.
