Tliis variety belong^s in the Famense group. It is adapted to 

 a wider range of localities than is the Fameuse. The fruit is ver\' 

 attractive in appearance, of bright deep red color and good size. 

 The flesh is very tender, perfumed and delicious. It is desirable 

 for local markets and special trade but because of its lack of firm- 

 ness it is less suitable for general handling. As grown at this 

 Station it begins to ripen in late September or early October. In 

 Western New York it cannot be expected to keep much later than 

 October in ordinary storage without considerable loss but in cold 

 storage it may be held until December or January (31). When 

 grown in more northern or elevated regions it is often held in good 

 condition till midwinter or later. It is susceptible to scab but this 

 may readily be controlled with proper treatment.^ The crop ripens 

 unevenly and a considerable portion of the fruit is liable to drop 

 before it is ready to pick. On this account it is best to make two 

 or three pickings. In some localities the tree is said to be a some- 

 v.hat slow grower and not satisfactorily productive, but more often 

 it is found to be a rather strong grower, hardy and healthy. It 

 comes into bearing rather young and is a reliable cropper yielding 

 good crops biennially and sometimes annually. It has not been 

 sufficiently tested to demonstrate fully its value for commercial 

 purposes but it is regarded by many as one of the most promising 

 varieties of its class for general cultivation in Xew York.
