A striped apple of the Rambo' class which much resembles Rambo 

 in appearance. While it does not rank as high in quality it is a 

 much better keeper, its season extending till March ; commercial 

 limit, February. When well grown it is large and of good color, but 

 too often the fruit sets so abundantly that it does not average much 

 above medium size. In western New York, although in some 

 seasons it is very productive, it is not as reliable a bearer as are 

 some of the kinds which outrank it in the commercial orchards, and 

 often the color is not well developed. It has been more extensively 

 planted along the Hudson than in any other part of the state, but it 

 is not now grown so much there as it was formerly. It is chiefly 

 valued for dessert, being generally considered inferior for culinary 

 uses, except possibly for baking. 



It is evidently not identical with the Domine described by Coxe. 1 



Historical. Origin uncertain. Supposed to be a native of this country (n, 

 12). Elliott states that it probably came originally from Maryland (9). 



TREE. 



Tree is vigorous to moderately vigorous, " with long, stout, spreading 

 branches which are very liable to be broken by the heavy crops of fruit" (14).
