FROM VARIOUS POINTS. 
The original Snow apple tree, now 70 years old, still 
bears fruit. The tree was planted by Opollis Dewey, on 
his farm between Pontiac and Birmingham, and the ex¬ 
perience of grafting brought forth a new apple, which, for 
lack of any other name, was styled the Snow apple. 
There were 1,328,806 barrels of apples shipped from 
this country to foreign ports in 1880. After that the 
shipments dwindled to only 81,532 barrels in 1883. The 
e.xports then rapidly increased, and 1,450,336 barrels were 
shipped abroad in 1893, which was the banner year in the 
history of the American apple trade. 
Established upwards of a Century. 
In a few successive seasons we have sold of this variety 1,362,000 
bushes, and have already, up to the end of December, sold for this 
season’s delivery over 185,000 bushes, and are still receiving orders for
