The Senator—It is only now and again that there comes a new apple of such superlative merits as to delignt at once the pomologists and the plain people " also. But this rare combination is given to the world in the Sen- ator—the most admired and best liked apple shown at the World's Fair. For rare beauty and singularly fine quality the choice of every beholder. Bears every year; began at four years and "outbears Ben Davis. Trees simply look like a pile of apples: 16-year trees averaged 24 bushels first class apples: limbs bend to the ground, but don't break. Finer quality than Kinnaird, don't scab: good keeper. Size very large : shape nearly round; color brightest red with small yellow markings". Two-Faced-We never brought out a more unique novelty than this. It originated in Cayuga County, N. Y., and the original tree has been known for many years, but this is the first time it has ever been propagated and put upon the market. The tree bears an apple which is in size and shape similar to the Tallman Sweet: its peculi- arity being that every fruit is evenly divided. One half is sour, like a Greening, and the other half is sweet like the Tallman. This is one of the most peculiar freaks which has ever been observed in vegetation. Its oddity, as well as its fine bearing qualities, and the excellent quality of the fruit, both the sweet and sour portion, will make it immensely popular. Ruby Cem—As
