Rainbow

The most profitable apple of its season. Over twenty years ago, Mr. Wells, of this county, now past 80 years old, sent us cions to be grafted for him of his "best apple." In clearing the block, two trees, he sent it also trees of Chenango, Ren Davis, Benoni, Hubbardson Nonesuch, Lowell, M. Blush and others. All have been in bearing for years. The Rainbow has been for years conspicuously a "barrel-filler," surpassing any of the sorts named—except that some years Hubbardston has borne as much. This year the Rainbow has even exceeded its past record, bearing fully twice as much as any of the sorts of same age, and selling for a higher price.
