THE APPLES OF NEW YORK. 61 



It resembles Autumn Swaar considerably in general appearance; 

 for a comparison of the two varieties the reader is referred to the 

 description of Autumn Swaar, pages n, 12. 



Historical. Fall Orange was described by Thomas in 1848 as a new or 

 newly-introduced variety of unknown origin (i). In 1857 Downing gave its 

 origin as Holden, Mass. (5). Since its introduction it has been sparingly 

 disseminated in various parts of the state. Although it is still listed by some 

 nurserymen (10) it is now seldom planted in New York.
