 SYNONYMS. None. 



This variety originated at Claverack, Columbia county, N. Y. (i). Accord- 

 ing to Downing the tree is moderately vigorous and very productive. The 

 fruit medium size, greenish-yellow, subacid, good to very good. In season 

 from December to February. 



Downing also mentions another Fall Greening of similar color, sprightly 

 subacid, in season from September to November; tree a poor grower. 



We have not seen either of these varieties.

SYNONYMS. FALL HARVEY (i, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, n, 12, 14). Fall 

 Harvey (13). Pall Pippin erroneously (13). HARVEY (13). 



Fruit large, yellow, showy, similar in general appearance to Fall Pippin 

 but less desirable where that variety can be grown. According to Hos- 

 kins (12) it is hardy in Northern Vermont and has there proved an excel- 

 lent annual bearer. He considers it valuable for all Northern New England 

 and Canada. Cole (3) observes that the fruit is "fine and fair but not 

 first-rate, and rather apt to fall, or to rot on the tree." Elliott (8) says that 

 it is not productive but Hovey (4) and Cole (3) call it a vigorous grower 

 and a good bearer. In the nursery it may be easily known from Fall Pippin 

 by its yellow and more slender shoots (4). 



FRUIT (2, 3, 4, 10). 



Fruit large. Form roundish, slightly oblate, regular or somewhat ribbed 

 at the base; crown large, slightly oblique. Stem short, stout or rather slen-
