It has been interesting to read in the
columns of various papers throughout the
country little sketches in regard to the
Spencer Seedless apple. Most of these
articles are written by people who never
( saw a Spencer Seedless and one can tell
from their maunderings that they know
nothing about the company or their pro
duct. Writing from experience and hav
ing iuvestigated the proposition we feel
that while other "would be" horticultural
papers are fighting the Spencer Seedless
that we can say a good word for the apple
as well as the men who are behind it. It
just occurs io the publishers of this paper
that that there is little gained in knocking
on a proposition simply because the men
behind it have found something which
may (and no doubt will) make them very
wealthy. What is it to us if they do reap
a reward tor their faith in their proposition
when they put their own money into it in
the firstplace? We believe eery true
horticulturist w'll want a few trees for the
novelty sake whether they think that
they make more money than a Jonathan
or not. Mr. A. P. Angelí, representing
the Spencer Co. is now on the Western
Slope taking orders for these trees and we
doubt not that lie will find our progressive
people over here ready to think well of the
seedless apple and willing to try a few of
them. Commercially this apple may be a
great success as we think that it is a good
keeper, si ill even if it is nota great com
mercial product it is at all events a nice
apple and a high class novelty. Colorado
