APPLE TREE WITH A HISTORY
An apple tree grown from the pip of an apple which the Kaiser ate in 1912 recently blossomed for the first time in Sussex. The owner is the Rev. Rosslyn Bruce. He was in a German hotel when he met the Kaiser who remarked that the apple he was eating was the best he had ever tasted. The clergyman asked for the core. He sold five of the pips at a guinea each for charity and planted the sixth in his garden. By 1914 it was six inches high, but it remained the same height all through the war, and only started to grow again in 1918. The owner hopes to get his first apple from it in October.
