SYNONYMS. Aunt Dorcas (5). Clothes-yard Apple (5). Grandmother's 

 Apple (5). 



Fruit about the size of Baldwin, yellow mostly overspread with red, mild 

 subacid, good to very good in quality. In season from November to Feb- 

 ruary. Tree hardy and a good bearer. 



Historical. A local variety brought to notice in 1860 by Z. Breed, Weare, 

 N. H. (i). In some portions of New England it is still much esteemed, both 

 for home use and for market (9), but it is little known in New York. 



GREAT BARBE. 



Fruit uniform, symmetrical, red and yellow, of good size, attractive, but 

 ranking only fair to good in quality. Season midwinter. The tree comes into 

 bearing early, is vigorous and apparently productive. So far as tested at this 

 Station it does not appear to be worthy of introduction into New York. 



Historical. A Russian variety received here for testing in 1898 from 

 J. Niemetz, Podolia, Russia. 



GREENING. 



The apple commonly known by the name Greening among New York fruit 

 growers and fruit dealers is the Rhode Island Greening to which the reader 

 is referred for an account of this variety. The name Greening has also been 

 used to some extent as a class name for certain types of green or yellowish- 

 green winter apples and it enters into the names of several well recognized 

 pomological varieties prominent among which are Bottle Greening, North- 

 western Greening and Patten, or Patten Greening.
