 to be valuable for a cold climate; it is said to be quite as hardy as 

 the Duchess of Oldenburg; a good upright grower, an early and 

 abundant bearer of large, showy fruit, ripening about a month later 

 than the Duchess, 



Fruit large, roundish, very slightly conical, slightly angular; skin 

 pale greenish vellow, or light yellow at full maturity, shaded, splashed 

 and mottled with light and dark red over most of the surface; stalk

 Season middle to the last of September. 



Yelloav Teansi^arent. 



A new Russian variety, which was imported from St. Petersburg 

 in 1870 by the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, and 

 promises to be valuable for a cold climate as an early fruit of gooi^ 

 quality, ripening before the Tetofsky, with more tender and delicate 

 flesh, but does ift»t continue long in use. It is said that the tree so far 

 has proved to be very hardy, moderately vigorous, upright, an early 

 and g'ood bearer annually. 



Fruit mediivm, roundish oblate, slightly conical, slightly angular: 

 skin clear white at first, becoming pale yellow when fully mature.
