An early summer apple, small to nearly medium, roundish ovate, yellowish 

 striped and marbled with dull red. Flesh pleasant subacid, good; season late 

 July and early August. It is a dessert apple suitable for the home orchard 

 only. The tree is of medium size, moderately vigorous, upright, hardy, long- 

 lived, comes into bearing fairly young and is a pretty reliable biennial 

 cropper. 



Historical. This is a very old English variety. Hogg (20) states that 

 " It is without doubt the Margaret of Rea, Worlidge, Ray, and all our early 

 pomologists except Miller." It has long been cultivated in this country, but 

 only to a very limited extent. It is now rarely propagated by our nursery- 

 men and seldom planted.

This apple was brought to notice by James O. Miller, Montgomery, Orange 

 county, N. Y. (i). Downing (4) describes the fruit as rather large, roundish 

 oblate inclined to conic, yellow shaded, striped and splashed with light red. 

 Flesh yellowish, crisp, pleasant subacid, good to very good. Season October 

 and November (3). Lyon refers to it as a promising fruit for market and 

 general purposes (7). We are unacquainted with this variety and have 

 received no report concerning it from any of our correspondents. 



MILLIGEN.

 SYNONYMS. None. 



Fruit of good size, rather attractive in general appearance, yellow striped 

 with red, good to very good. It comes into season in October and some 

 portion of the fruit may be kept in good condition till spring. In common 

 storage there is apt to be a rather high rate of loss during late autumn, so 

 that its commercial limit is October or early November, but it may be held 

 in cold storage till midwinter (3). The tree is a vigorous grower, almost 

 an annual bearer and usually produces good crops. It does not excel 

 standard varieties of its season for any purpose. Not recommended for 

 planting in New York.
