SYNONYMS. YOPP (10). YOPP'S FAVORITE (i, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9). 



A southern apple of little value in New York. It originated in Georgia. 

 In 1873 it was entered in the catalogue of the American Pomological So- 

 ciety (5). It is practically unknown in this state. 



As grown at this Station the fruit is medium to rather large, oblate conic 

 to roundish conic, somewhat ribbed; stem short, slender; cavity acuminate, 

 moderately wide, rather deep, usually russeted; calyx small, open; basin 

 narrow, moderately deep to deep, abrupt, wrinkled. Skin light yellow usually 

 with a dull red blush ; dots numerous, small, russet. Calyx tube conical ; 

 stamens median. Core medium to small; cells partly open; core lines clasp- 

 ing. Carpels broadly roundish, emarginate, somewhat tufted. Flesh whitish, 

 somewhat tinged with yellow, moderately fine, tender, juicy, breaking, sub- 

 acid, fair to good ; season October and November. 



The tree is below medium size, a rather slow grower with spreading tcp. 

 It comes into bearing moderately early and yields good crops biennially.
