THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
A NEW GRAVENSTEIN 
Prof. S. A. Beach of Ames, Iowa, m a recent number of the 
Rural New Yorker, notes a new sport of the Gravenstein apple which 
has appeared at Olga, Washington. This fruit comes from a limb 
which appeared about three feet from the ground on a tree among 
fifty Gravensteins, and is nearly, or in some cases entirely red, in¬ 
stead of striped. Some of this fruit was exhibited at the Spokane 
National Apple Show in November, and it is said to be a better 
keeper and a better bearer than the ordinary Gravenstein. So far 
as form and flavor are concerned, it is like the Gravenstein. 
Chairman Pitkin of the Legislative Committee announces 
that the Simmons bill, which provides for the inspection of 
nursery stock at the ports of entry, came up for considera¬ 
tion in the House of Representatives towards the closing 
days of the session, and was defeated. This disposes of the 
iSS 
bill for another year, as, of course, it will not be considered 
by the recalled federal legislature. 
Mr. Henry Kallen of the well known nurserymen Kallen & Ltin- 
neman, Boskoop, Holland, has again arrived in this country to 
solicit business from the many firms they have been dealing with.
