Ti!K Apples of New York. 91 



Flesh slightly tinged with yellow, firm, fine, crisp, very tender, juicy with 

 an agreeable rich, aromatic, mild subacid flavor; very good to best. 

 Season October to January. 



CABASHEA (WINTER). 



The variety recognized by Downing, Lyon, Woolverton and some other 

 pomologists as Cabashea, so far as we can learn, is not known to New York 

 fruit growers and fruit dealers under that name but by them is commonly 

 called Twenty Ounce Pippin. It is in season with Tompkins King and a little 

 later. Sometimes it is called King. The variety which is generally called 

 Cabashea in Western New York is a large, flat apple somewhat marked with 

 dull red. It comes in season about with the true Twenty Ounce but is not 

 so good a keeper. 



We prefer to follow Thomas, Warder and Emmons in retaining the name 

 Cabashea for the fall apple above mentioned and in recognizing Twenty Ounce 

 Pippin as the correct name for the later variety. The Twenty Ounce Pippin 

 should not be confused with the true Twenty Ounce nor with the Tompkins 

 King. 



For more extended notice of these varieties the reader is referred to 

 Cabashea (fall) in the succeeding volume and to Twenty Ounce Pippin 

 in this volume.

 Sweet Maiden's Blush (6). 



An old variety recommended by Coxe (i) for cider. Dow-ning (6) calls 

 it good for baking and stock feeding. Warder (8), who gives a very good 

 description of the variety, ranks it poor in quality. The tree is very hardy, 

 healthy, a biennial bearer. It is apt to overbear causing the fruit to be small. 

 It has the merit of being a good keeper but as there is not much demand for 

 fruit of this character it is fast becoming obsolete.
