Fruit large, beautiful, showy, suitable for culinary use, in season from late 

 September to November. The tree is large, vigorous, upright, comes into 

 bearing rather young, is a reliable cropper and moderately productive. In 

 England where it originated it is said to do best under garden culture in 

 warm soil and on Paradise stock ; grown in clay and other uncongenial 

 soils it loses quality (27). It is but little known in New York.

A Russian apple, medium to large, pale greenish-yellow, sometimes blushed, 

 coarse, rather juicy, mild subacid to nearly sweet, good; season August. It 

 does not appear to be worthy the attention of New York fruit growers.

SYNONYMS. BENNIGER (2). BENNINGER (i, 3, 4, 5). 



A pleasant-flavored dessert apple of good medium size and attractive ap- 

 pearance; in season during late August and September. It is too mild in 

 flavor to be very desirable for culinary purposes. The tree is a pretty good 

 grower, comes into bearing young and is productive.
