Fruit of good size, rather attractive appearance and good to very- 

 good quality, especially for culinary uses. Dr. Hoskins, who prop- 

 agated it for several years, said in 1894: " It is a fair but uneven 

 keeper, and might be well described as not quite valuable enough 

 to retain, yet hardly deserving to be cast aside." It is reported as 

 being very hardy in Northern New York, a good grower and a 

 good bearer. As fruited at this Station the tree is a moderately 

 good grower, comes into bearing rather young and yields moderate 

 to good crops nearly annually. The keeping quality of the fruit 

 varies in different seasons but its commercial limit in ordinary- 

 storage appears to be October. It remains in season to January or 

 possibly later (11). It is not recommended for planting except 

 perhaps for home use in localities where its superior hardiness gives 

 it an advantage over ordinary varieties of its season. 



Historical Originated by Wm. Warren, Ne.vport, Vt. Ci). It has been 

 planted to a considerable extent in portions of Northern New England, 

 Northern New York and the parts of Canada adjoining. It is still propa- 

 gated in a few nurseries (4).
