A SEEDLING APPLE. 



Shown at the Summer Meetingof State HorticulturalSociety, St. Anthony Park, 

 June I'Jth. 1896.— J. S. Harris, Committee. 



We find on exhibition at this meeting- a variety of apples, believed 

 to be a seedling, shown by Ditus Day, of Farniington, and produced 

 by hitn in 18(»5, that is in good condition and of very fair appearance.

 five sided; pleasing appearance; color, greenish yellow, nearly cov- 

 ered with deep faintly striped red and many irregular grayish 

 or russet dots over the surface; stem, medium long, rather stout, 

 inserted in a narrow, medium deep, light russeted cavity; calyx, 

 closed; basin, shallow, considerably wrinkled; core, medium, closed; 

 ilesh, fine grained, white, tender; llavor, mild subacid; season, win- 

 ter; use, desert. The tree is of unknown origin, being a stump 

 sprout ten or twelve years old from a tree purchased under the 

 name of Saxton. The fruit on exhibition has been kept in a com- 

 mon cellar without special care up to the present date without 

 showing decay. The tree was not injured during last winter, is free 

 from blight atid is carrying a good crop this season. A name for 

 the variety has not been decided upon, and it will be known for the 

 present as Ditus Day, No. 2.
