(I) ALLINGTON. 



This is a late winter apple of medium size, yellow with a bronze blush, 

 subacid. It was originated by S. A. Ailing of Homer, Minnesota. As a seed- 

 ling it was awarded first premium by the Minnesota Horticultural Society in 

 ipoi. 1 We have received no reports of its being grown in New York State.

 SYNONYM. ALLTNGTON PIPPIN (i, 2). 



This is a new English variety which was awarded a first class certificate 

 by the Royal Horticultural Society in 1894. (i) Although it is of good size 

 and of good quality it is not attractive enough in color to make it a promising 

 commercial variety for New York. It has not been tested here sufficiently to 

 show how well it is adapted to New York conditions. 



TREE. 



Tree vigorous. Form spreading, rather open. Tivigs long to below medium, 

 irregular, crooked, rather slender ; internodes above medium to below medium 

 in length. Bark rather dull brownish-red and dull green ; on older wood 

 rather light green. Lenticels scattering, large, roundish, sometimes raised. 

 Buds large, roundish, rather obtuse, appressed, pubescent. Leaves somewhat 

 narrow. 



As grown at the Geneva Station it comes into bearing young and gives 

 promise of being quite productive.
