The original tree, when 34 years old, measured 60 inches in circumference, and is still in a perfectly healthy condition. Mr. Cales has picked 36 50-pound boxes of Apples from it in one season, and always gets from 25 to 50 cents per box more for them than for other varieties. We consider this one of the most valuable Apples to plant for commercial purposes.
