Synonym. Lfly of Kent (2, 3). 



Fruit large, globular, green or yellowish-green, subacid, good in quality 

 and a very late keeper. This is a variety of recent introduction (i). It has 

 not yet been sufficiently tested in New York to determine whether or not 

 it is a desirable variety for this region. It originated in Delaware and is 

 being planted to considerable extent in some portions of that state (3).

There is an apple grown in Northern New York, probably of local origin, 

 which is there known under the name of Limbertwig. This fruit is of the 

 Blue Pearmain class and resembles Bethel in form and color but the flesh 

 is coarser and has more acidity. Tt is a good keeper. 



In some portions of Western New York the Twenty Ounce is called Limber- 

 twig. 



The variety described below as the small or red Limbertwig appears to be 

 practically unknown among New York fruit growers except in some localities 

 in the southeastern portions of the state. That described as the large or 

 green Limbertwig, so far as we know, is not grown in New York. 



In some of the references above cited the writers appear to have clearly in 

 mind the red Limbertwig (4, 7, 10, 14, 21); in other cases they evidently 

 describe the green Limbertwig (2, 5) ; occasionally both are mentioned (3, 

 8, 19), but in most instances it is not clear which variety is referred to.
