forms of Green Gage, averaging about 2£ inches in diameter, 

 somewhat flattened. 



23. New White Apple, Thor. (Snowball, Nellis. Apfel Weisser, Neu.) 



Fruit spherical 1^ inches in diameter, slightly flattened as 

 grown from Prussian seeds. Rather soft, and nearly white 

 in color. 



24. Golden Queen, Eawson. (Yellow Jefferson, Leonard. Sunset, 



Tillinghast.) Larger and lighter in color than Large Yellow, 

 often becoming slightly orange at the apex. Two and one- 

 half inches in diameter, flattened, and sometimes slightly 

 oblong, generally regular but occasionally corrugated. 



25. Yellow Victor, Gregory. Dark yellow, much flattened, 3 inches 



in diameter. Often angular and irregular.

diameter. Color much like Yellow Victor, often becoming

28. Little Gem, small, flattened, 2 inches by 1| deep, regular and 



smooth. 



29. Cook's Favorite, Greg. Fruit smooth, regular and round,

less productive and later than Boston Market. Fruits are

 dull purple. Leaves darker green than those of Trophy.
