322 THE APPLES OF NEW YORK. 



Fruit large, yellow streaked with red, the yellow usually pre- 

 dominating. It is pretty uniform in size and when highly colored 

 rather attractive in appearance. It ranks good to very good in 

 quality either for dessert or culinary use. On Long Island it is 

 grown more commonly than any other variety except Rhode Island 

 Greening. In that portion of the state it is in season during late 

 fall and early winter but as grown at this Station it keeps till Feb- 

 ruary with practically no loss (3) and its season extends to April 

 or May. It is not sufficiently attractive in color to be desirable 

 for general market purposes but it sells well in Long Island local 

 markets. This variety is grown successfully on sandy or gravelly 

 loam and also does well on clay loam. It is hardy, healthy, long- 

 lived, vigorous, comes into bearing moderately young and is a reli- 

 able cropper, yielding moderate to heavy crops biennially or almost 

 annually. The crop ripens rather unevenly and there is considerable 

 loss from dropping of the fruit. 



It appears from reports received from Northern and Northwestern 

 New York that in some portions of those regions an inferior variety 

 is known locally under the name Streaked Pippin but we have not 

 seen this fruit.
