Fruit often large but variable in size, a considerable portion of 

 the crop being undersized or otherwise unmarketable. It is of a 

 green or yellowish color, shows bruises quite readily, does not 

 stand shipping very well and is not a good keeper. It is very 

 good for culinary uses and acceptable for dessert ; being of light 

 weight, it is less desirable than some other varieties for evap- 

 orating. The tree is an exceedingly strong grower and long-lived, 

 eventually becoming very large, tall and spreading. It is hardy, 

 healthy, comes into bearing rather young and is a reliable cropper, 

 yielding moderately good to heavy crops biennially or nearly annu- 

 ally. There is apt to be considerable loss from premature dropping 

 of the fruit. Not recommended for planting in New York. 



Historical. It appears that this variety was brought into Western New 

 York from Athens on the Hudson, about 1827 (i, 2). Elliott (3) in 1854 

 called it an old Connecticut variety. It has been grown more largely in 

 portions of the Hudson valley and of Western New York than it has in 

 other sections of the state but it has not been cultivated extensively in any 

 locality. It is still listed by nurserymen (9) but in New York it is now 

 seldom planted and is gradually going out of cultivation. 



TREE. 



Tree large, vigorous or very vigorous. Form spreading or somewhat 

 roundish. Twigs moderately long, curved, moderately stout; internodes 

 medium. Bark dark brown lightly streaked with gray scarf-skin ; slightly 

 pubescent. Lenticels scattering, medium size, oblong, slightly raised. Buds 

 medium size, broad, plump, obtuse, free, pubescent.
