New York AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 329 
Twenty Ounce Pippin (of some; see CaBASHBA). There is 
another variety which is known in some parts of Western New 
York under the name of Twenty Ounce Pippin the identity of 
which we have not yet determined. In size and coloring it some- 
what resembles a smooth roundish Twenty Ounce, but is less 
mottled and more striped with red. It is distinct from Twenty 
Ounce in the flavor and texture of the flesh and in the character 
of the core. It is reported as a better keeper than Tompkins 
King. 
Vandevere (of Western New York) (see NewrowN SPpirzen- 
BURG).

The average number of fruits stored was 89. The mean date of 
storing was October 17, of average life April 30 and of discarding 
of last fruits June 14. Both tests gave quite similar results. Sea- 
son January to May. Commercial limit March. There was prac- 
tically no loss before midwinter.

uniform. The rate of loss was rather high in December and 
moderate from then till February when it became very high.

carding of last fruits June 27. Results both seasons were very 
similar. The fruit kept well till March, after which the loss 
was high. Season November to February. Commercial limit
