after repeated experiments by some of 
our best horticulturists. Many of the 
varieties growing in the north have been 
tried' with varying success. The first 
year the trees are planted they apparently 
do well; the second year they may do 
fairly well and bear a fruit or two. but 
the third year generally winds them up. 
The apple evidently was not intended for 
this latitude, consequently will not thrive. 
It may be that some day by hybridizing 
carried out on the same line that Prof. 
Weber is following with the citrus, we 
may get an apple that will do fairly well 
in Florida. I believe that the Secretary 
of the Horticultural Society will be able 
to eat all of your next season’s crop of 
apples grown in Florida, and would not 
object to trying.
