logued by the American Pomological Society as White Winter Pearmain (5). 

 Since 1897 (13) it has been listed as White Pearmain but it is very doubtful 

 whether this change will be generally accepted by fruit growers and fruit 

 dealers. This variety has been little grown in New York and is now seldom 

 or never planted here.

 ally straight; internodes vary from short to long. Bark reddish-brown over-
