Hawley is a very large apple of the Fall Pippin type in color, 

 size and form. When the color is fully developed it is a handsome 

 yellow. Season September and October. It is of delicious dessert 

 quality and desirable for the home orchard but not well adapted 

 for market because the tree is not very productive and the fruit 

 often is scabby and sometimes it water-cores and rots at the core. 

 The tree is a moderate grower in the nursery but in the orchard 

 it is rather vigorous, medium in size to large, hardy and rather long- 

 lived. It does not come into bearing very young. When mature 

 it bears quite regularly but is usually a light or moderate cropper. 



Historical. Originated on the farm of Mr. Mathew Hawley, New Canaan, 

 N. Y., about 1750, from seeds which Mr. Hawley obtained from Milford, 

 Conn, (i, 3). The original tree lived nearly a century. The variety 

 gradually became disseminated throughout New York state. It has long 

 been known in cultivation in different parts of the state, particularly in 

 Columbia, Onondaga, Caynga, Tompkins, Seneca and Monroe counties. It 

 is now rarely listed by nurserymen and is seldom planted. 



FRUIT. 



Fruit large or very large, pretty uniform in size and shape. Form nearly 

 globular to somewhat oblate or slightly conic, sometimes inclined to elliptical, 

 more or less distinctly ribbed. Stem medium in length, rather slender. 

 Cavity acute to nearly obtuse, deep, wide and with outspreading russet rays. 

 Calyx below medium to rather large, partly closed; lobes often separated at 

 base, reflexed, wide, acute. Basin moderately deep to deep, medium to wide, 

 very abrupt, often decidedly furrowed. 



Skin fair, smooth, waxy, rather thin, pale green deepening to yellow as it 

 matures, sometimes showing a faint brownish blush, with scattering russet 

 dots and flecks especially toward the cavity. 



Calyx tube large, wide, cone-shape, yellow or brownish. 



Core below medium to above ; cells closed ; core lines meeting. Carpels 

 rather flat, tufted, roundish, emarginate. Seeds few, obtuse. When well 

 developed they are medium in size, but often some are abortive.
