H.W. Hunt was the recipient a few days ago of some nice Banana apples sent to him by express by F.M. Smith of Cashmere, Wash. Mr. Hunt brought us in a sample apple, a beauty, measuring 13 inches in circumference, and asked us to give an opinion on its flavor through the columns of the Gleaner, as a New York man made the statement several years ago that no western apple had a flavor that commenced to compare with an eastern or New York State apple. During the sampling process, we did the apple full justice, and while it hurts us to go back on good old New York State, we are compelled to admit that the Banana apple, at least, if this does not happen to be an exception, has a flavor fully equal to any we have ever tasted, here or elsewhere.
