An irregular bearer, in some years very productive, but more 

 often only moderately productive or unproductive. It appears to 

 be much esteemed in Europe, where it has been grown under 

 numerous synonyms. It is not much in demand in America because 

 it is easily excelled by other varieties, both for home use and for 

 market. 



Historical. Origin unknown. It was listed in France as the Canada 

 Reinette at least as early as 1771 (2). 



TREE. 



Tree moderately vigorous ; branches long, stout, crooked. Form spreading 

 and drooping. Ttvigs medium to long, straight, rather stout ; internodes 

 medium or below. Bark dull brown, tinged with dark olive-green, irregularly 

 mottled with scarf-skin ; very pubescent. Lenticels rather numerous, con- 

 spicuous, large, roundish to oblong, raised. Buds large, broad, plump, obtuse, 

 appressed, rather deeply set, pubescent. Leaves large, broad. 



FRUIT. 



Fruit variable in size, averages above medium and is frequently very large. 

 Form oblate or roundish, inclined to conic, often irregular, broadly angular, 

 sometimes with furrows extending from base to apex ; not uniform in shape. 

 Stem short. Cavity rather acute, moderately broad, wavy, sometimes russeted. 

 Calyx medium to large, closed or partly open. Basin abrupt, usually rather 

 deep, moderately wide, furrowed and wrinkled. 



Skin yellow, sometimes with decided blush but not striped, marked more 

 or less with dots, flecks or irregular patches of russet. 



Calyx tube medium, rather wide, cone-shaped. Stamens median or ap- 

 proaching basal. 



Core medium or below, abaxile to nearly axile, open or partly open ; core 

 lines meeting. Carpels roundish inclined to obovate, somewhat tufted. Seeds 

 few, large, long, tufted, dark. 



Flesh has a decided yellow tinge and is firm, moderately tender, coarse, 

 breaking, not crisp, juicy, subacid, very good. 



Season. Early winter till March or April or perhaps later (39). Late in 

 the season the fruit begins to lose in flavor although it may apparently be still 

 in good condition.
