FAMOUS APPLE'S ANCESTRY FOUND Santa Rosa, Cal. (tPJ More than a century ago, a fort, trading post and chapel were established by a group of Russians at Fort Ross on the northern coast of Sonoma county. For years, an old orchard planted by the Russians at Fort Ross has received little attention, but now a movement Is on foot to mark the site with a monument to California agriculture. For, among the trees planted, was an apple. Its fruit was greenish yellow thickly striped with bright red.

From this parent stock, agriculturists believe, sprang the vast acreages of Gravenstein apples, most famous of Sonoma county fruits. Also, in all probability, the state's first prunes, a Hungarian variety, the trees of which remaining in the old orchard still bear fruit. California's first cultivated cherries and pears were also set out by the Russians at old Fort Ross. If the proposed monument becomes a reality, an effort will be made to preserve the old orchard, keeping its old trees properly trimmed and cultivated. RELEASE 7500 Washington.
