 more extensively in Northern New York, New England and 

 Canada than in any other regions. It is reported as being pretty 

 hardy in Central Iowa where the climate is too severe for Baldwin, 

 Rhode Island Greening and other varieties of a similar grade of 

 hardiness. Munson (7) states that it is worthy of trial where 

 Baldwin will not succeed. The tree is vigorous. In some dis- 

 tricts it has the reputation of being productive, in others it is 

 called a shy bearer. The fruit is very attractive, mild subacid, 

 good but not high in quality. It somewhat resembles Baldwin 

 in size and color, but is more oblate, and the skin is of a somewhat 

 lighter and brighter red than that of Baldwin. The cavity is often 

 marked with outspreading rays of reddish or green russet as 

 in the Baldwin. The dots are round, scattering, whitish, often
