FALIX» 



Reference, i. Beach and Clark, .V. Y. Sta. Bui, 248:119. 1904. 



Fruit of medium size with tender flesh, sprightly mild subacid, good but 

 not excellent in quality. In form and also in the ground color and striping 

 it reminds one of the St. Lawrence, being oblate conic and dull green or light 

 yellow mottled and striped with light and dark red. It is less attractive than 

 St. Lawrence. Season November to April. Received for testing here from 

 Benjamin Buckman, Farmingdale, Ills. It does not excel as a dessert fruit 

 and is not attractive enough to be a good market apple. It is not recom- 

 mended even for trial.
