OiSrsTiNE Greening. 



Of uncertain origin, supposed to be Ohio; introduced by Seth A. 

 Bushnell, of Oberlin, Ohio, who states that the tree is a vigorous 

 grower, somewhat irregular, spreading open head, bearing good 

 crops annually, and although not a first class table apple, it is of 

 good quality; being a very late keeper, retaining its firmness and 

 freshness to the last, makes it valuable for market and culinary pur- 

 poses. 



Fruit medium, oblate to round oblate, slightly conical, a little 

 angular, often slightly ribbed; skin greenish yellow, moderately 

 sprinkled with grayish and greenish dots; stalk short, small; cavity 

 rather large, sometimes slight russet; calyx open; basin rather shal- 

 low, corrugated, or with small ribs; flesh whitish yellow, quite firm, 

 moderately juicy, mild subacid; core medium. January to June.
