The name is an unfortunate selection, since this variety does not 

 resemble Baldwin, but belongs in the Fameuse group. It yields 

 moderately heavy crops, and under favorable conditions tends to 

 become an annual bearer. It is a better keeper than Fameuse, but 

 is less attractive; yet highly colored specimens are beautiful and 

 attractive. It is not recommended for planting, except in those 

 regions where a hardy variety of the Fameuse type is desired to 

 extend the Fameuse season. 



Historical. " Said to have originated from seed of Pomme de Fer on the 

 farm of Alexis Dery, St. Hilaire, Que. It was given its name by N. C. Fisk, 

 Abbotsford, Que., who propagated it in 1855." (14).

 Tree in the nursery is a moderate grower, with good hard wood and strong 

 deep roots. In the orchard it is a moderate grower, upright, becoming rather 

 open and spreading with age ; branches long, moderately stout. Tzvigs medium 

 to short, somewhat curved, moderately stout ; internodes short to above 

 medium in length. Bark dull dark brown, tinged with reddish-brown, mingled 

 with olive-green, and lightly streaked with gray scarf-skin ; slightly pubescent 

 near tips. Lenticeis rather numerous, medium to small, roundish or oblong, 

 raised. Buds of medium size, plump, acute, free, quite pubescent. Leaves 

 medium in size, broad. 



Fruit. 



Fruit averages below medium. Form roundish inclined to conic, or some- 

 times slightly oblate, obscurely ribbed, usually symmetrical, regular, sides some- 

 times unequal ; pretty uniform in size and shape. Stem pubescent, sometimes 

 long, moderately slender and bracted, but more often short and thick. Cavity 

 rather large, acute to somewhat obtuse, moderately deep to deep, moderately 

 broad, smooth or partly covered with thin greenish russet, often slightly 

 furrowed or compressed ; pubescent near base of stem. Calyx closed or partly
