Autumn Acid Not Striped. 207 



inch long, basin deep, furrowed or plaited inside, rim obtuse, 

 even ; flesh yellowish white, rather coarse, rich sub-acid, or rather 

 acid, hardly first quality, but valuable for its fair surface and great 

 and early productiveness. Early autumn. Tree rather slender 

 and a moderate grower. 



MAIDEN'S BLUSH. Rather large, oblate, smooth, and regular, with 

 a fine, evenly shaded red cheek or blush on a clear pale yellow 

 ground ; stalk short ; cavity rather wide ; basin moderate, even ; 

 flesh white, fine grained, tender, pleasant sub-acid, but not rich. 

 Mid-autumn. Tree spreading. Although deficient in richness, it 

 is valued for its fair, tender, and beautiful fruit, and uniform pro- 

 ductiveness. Valuable at the West. 



Fall Harvey. Large, roundish-oblate, nearly regular ; pale yellow ; 

 stalk slender, one inch long, cavity moderate ; basin medium in 

 size, furrowed ; flesh fine grained, juicy, good, mild sub-acid 

 flavor. Moderate or poor bearer. Essex co., Mass. 



FALL ORANGE. (Holden Pippin.) Large, roundish-ovate, or oval ; 

 light greenish yellow, becoming pale yellow ; rarely a brown cheek ; 

 stalk half an inch long, cavity narrow ; basin even-rimmed, slightly 

 plaited ; sub-acid, tender, good, best when fresh from the tree. 

 Shoots very stout, dark colored. Tree very hardy, bears while 

 very young, fruit always fair. 



FALL PIPPIN. (Holland Pippin, erroneously.) Very large, round- 

 ish, obtuse, somewhat oblong-conical, a little flattened at the ends, 

 sometimes with large obtuse ribs ; color greenish, becoming a high 

 rich yellow when ripe, with some large shades of green about the 

 crown before fully ripe ; stalk large, in an acuminate cavity, basin 

 deep ; flesh yellowish, rather firm, becoming tender, rich, aroma- 

 tic, excellent. Leaves sharply serrate, shoots vigorous, rather 

 dark, diverging, becoming spreading ; tree large. Late autumn, 

 keeping into mid-winter. Mostly a moderate bearer fruit some- 

 times water-cored. Excellent for cooking. Fine in nearly all 

 localities. 



Haivley. (Dowse.) Quite large, roundish, slightly conical, some- 

 times nearly round, with a broad obtuse apex, and slightly flat- 

 tened ; smooth ; pale green becoming yellow, sometimes a very 

 faint orange cheek ; stalk one-half to one inch long, slender ; 

 cavity wide, deep, acute, sometimes slightly obtuse ; basin deep, 

 slightly furrowed ; flesh yellowish white, fine grained, quite ten- 

 der, with a mild, rich, sub-acid, fine flavor. Ripens at mid-autumn. 

 Shoots of rather slow growth. Origin, Columbia co., N. Y. 

 Liability to dry rot and water-core has rendered it of little 

 value. 



PORTER. Above medium, oblong-ovate-conical, regular, often rib- 

 bed at apex ; bright yellow, sometimes a dull blush in the sun ; 

 stalk one inch long, slender, cavity rather small ; basin narrow ;
