 SYNONYMS. Ben Ford (2). DEADERICK (i, 2, 3). Ozark Pippin (2). 



A good-sized green apple, of somewhat better color than Rhode 

 Island Greening, but it does not keep as well, and is inferior to 

 that variety in quality. The tree is a strong grower, healthy, and 

 so far as tested here comes into bearing young and gives promise 

 of being very productive. It has not been on trial long enough 

 to indicate whether or not it has sufficient merit to be considered 

 a promising variety for this state. In Tennessee it is considered 

 a very valuable early winter apple (2). 



Historical. Originated with Benjamin Ford, Washington county, Tenn. 

 It was first disseminated as Ozark Pippin (2). 



TREE. 



Tree rather vigorous. Form spreading and somewhat upright. Twigs 

 moderately stout, nearly straight ; internodes short. Bark bright brownish- 

 red. Lenticels roundish, often conspicuous, scattering, small. Buds medium 

 size, appressed, obtuse, short, pubescent. Leaves medium size, somewhat 

 narrow ; often the base of the petioles is conspicuously streaked with red. 



FRUIT. 



Fruit large. Form broadly roundish, often rather conical, sometimes 

 broadly ribbed, pretty regular, uniform. Stem medium to rather long, 

 slender. Cavity large, acute to acuminate, deep, broad, usually smooth and 

 symmetrical, sometimes slightly furrowed, occasionally prominently lipped. 

 Calyx small, partly open or closed ; lobes rather narrow, acute. Basin small, 

 shallow, obtuse to somewhat abrupt, nearly smooth, a little wrinkled.
