The "harrison Apple."

To the Editor of The Register : Sir: - I aend you a "campaign document," - an apple which grew od our cld place on Mann-st at the west end of the city. The tree has a history. Ia 1810 Mr. Mann, then a merchant in New York, with a party of gentlemen, called on Gsn Win. Ilenry Harrison at his home. While passing through the ground?, Mr. Mann picked an apple which he took home to his wife. After the apple had been exhibited throughout the campaign by a political friend, Mrs. Mann plinted the seeds. ün their removal to Michigan in the following year Mrs. Mann brought the young tree with her. It was called the " Harrison apple," by the family. When the old house was burned, a few years since, it was supposed the tree was killed, but on going over the place a week ago, I found that one limb was still alive and on it were four appleg, - not as perfect as of old, but still a fine-looking apple. I thought one of our Republican horticulturists might like to perpetúate the " Harrison apple," so I send it to you to be diepoeed of as you like. Ann Arbor, Oot. 4, 1888.
