 Synonyms. None. 



A waxen-white fruit with crimson blush and brisk subacid flesh ; very 

 good for cuHnarj' uses. Season September and October. The tree is large, 

 roundish, moderately vigorous, hard}-, long-lived and a reliable cropper 

 yielding good crops biennially. It is not desirable for commercial planting 

 because the fruit shows bruises very readily. 



Historical. Originated at Lyons, N. Y. (3). It is but little grown even 

 in the locality of its origin. 



TART BOUGH.

 1867 :734. 4. Downing, 1869 :38o. 



Synonyms. Sour Bough of some (4J. Tart Bough (i, 2, 3, 4). 



An old variety which according to Downing (4) was originated and dis- 

 seminated by Judge Buel of Albany, N. Y. Elliott (2) states that it resembles 

 Early Harvest, but it ripens ten days later, has more acid and the trees 

 are more rapid in growth. He regarded it as unworthy of cultivation. 



Downing recognizes another Tart Bough the fruit of which is small and 

 whitish with white, tender flesh, juicy, sprightly, pleasant subacid, good. 

 Season August (4). 



We do not know either of these varieties.
