A Russian variety which was received from Ellwanger and Barry, Roch- 

 ester, N. Y., in 1884 for testing at this Station. It is an apple of moderately 

 attractive appearance and fair to good quality, in season in September and 

 October. The tree comes into bearing moderately young and is a reliable 

 biennial cropper. It is not recommended for planting in New York because 

 it is inferior to standard varieties of its season.
