Colonial Apple Cone: Colonial apple cones, or fruit pyramids, have long been a tradition in this country. Decorated with apples or pears and topped with a pineapple, they create quite a dramatic centerpiece on a holiday table or sideboard. A calico pineapple surrounded by calico pears or apples substituting for the real thing will add a touch of gaiety and humor to your holiday festivities.
These are loose patterns carefully removed from old magazines or books. All are complete with original photos, charts and instructions.
