Fruit above medium, yellow mostly overspread with faint crimson ; aromatic, 

 mild subacid, toward the last becoming sweet or nearly so. Tree an upright 

 grower, an annual bearer, very hardy and very productive. In season from 

 December to March (i, 2). 



Historical. This is supposed to be a chance seedling from Oneida county, 

 N. Y., which originated about a half century ago. We do not find that it has 

 been grown in New York to any considerable extent, but it appears to have 

 gained a favorable record in Southeastern Wisconsin (2).

As grown at this Station the fruit is medium to large and when well colored 

 has an attractive deep red blush, but too often it does not develop proper 

 color in this climate. The tree has not come into bearing very early and thus 

 far has been but moderately productive. The fruit is of mild, pleasant flavor 

 and keeps well into the spring. It does not equal the standard commercial 

 varieties of this region either in general appearance or in quality and is not 

 recommended for planting in New York. 



Historical. Originated near Garnet, Anderson county, Kansas. Described 

 in the report of the Kansas Horticultural Society for 1886 as promising for 

 commercial purposes (2).
