GREEN WILDING. 



This variety is without history, and is probably a seedling 

 from some small orchard nursery. From the age of the original 

 tree it must be as old as this century. 



Description. — Fruit : middle size, conical, obscurely ribbed, 

 narrowing towards the eye, where it is somewhat puckered. Skin : 

 yellowish green, strewed with numerous large, russety dots, and a 

 few lines of russet. Eye : small, and closed, set in a narrow 

 puckered basin. Stalk : very short, completely embedded in a 

 deep cavity. Flesh : white, tender, sweet, and with a mawkish 

 flavour, but without either bitterness, marked astringency, or much 

 acidity.
