Tyson. 



LATE IN AU0XJ8T. 



A native of the vicinity of Philadelphia, known before the pre- 

 sent century. It has 



never eome into genc- 

 al cultivation, though 

 recommended by the 

 American Poniologi- 

 cal Society. A vigor- 

 ous and upright grow- 

 er, young shoots red- 

 dish brown: a very 

 tardy, but abundant 

 bearer. Fniit, small 

 to medium, pyriform, 

 tapering to the stem, 

 which is long, curved, 

 and set with a fleshy 

 junction, usually swol- 

 len on one side ; dull 

 yellow, with russet 

 red blush on thecheek, 

 often with dark, al- 

 most black, spots. 

 Flesh white, melting, 

 and juicy, with rich, 

 sugary, aromatic fla- 

 vor. For mo.st local- 

 ities, perhaps, fully 

 equal to the Blood- 

 good. Should be 

 grown on the Quince 

 on account of its tar- 

 diness.
