APPLES. 337 



Tree vigorous, upright, spreading. The Fall Pippin, in 

 sections where there are no great extremes of tempera- 

 ture, is one of the most valuable varieties, either for table 

 or market ; popular over a great extent of country. 



Fall Wine (Oino WIXE, etc.). Origin American. 

 Medium or above in siza, roundish oblate ; light ground 

 mostly covered with red ; flesh yellowish white, tender, 

 juicy, rich, aromatic, mild sub-acid. Mid-Autumn. Tree 

 a slender but healthy grower, moderate annual bearer. 

 This variety fails in most sections East, but in the new, 

 rich soils of the West it is one of the best, and the fruit 

 valuable for dessert or market. 



Garden Royal* Origin Massachusetts. Medium or 

 below in size, roundish oblong ; greenish yellow, striped 

 and splashed with red and russet ; flesh yellowish, very 

 tender, juicy, rich, mild aromatic sub-acid. Early Au- 

 tumn. Tree moderately vigorous, upright, very produc- 

 tive. This is perhaps, in quality, the best apple grown, 

 and desirable for the amateur, but not profitable as an 

 orchard variety. 



Gravenstein. Origin German. Large, roundish, flat- 

 tened ; yellow, shaded and marbled with red ; flesh tender, 

 crisp, with a peculiar high, aromatic flavor. Early Au- 

 tumn, but sometimes keeps to mid-winter. Tree vigor- 

 ous, spreading, and very productive ; it is one of the most 

 profitable sorts either for orchard or garden. 



Hawthorndeu. Origin Scotch. Above medium, round- 

 ish, slightly oblate ; light yellow, with blush in sun ; flesh 

 white, juicy, sharp sub-acid. Early Autumn. Tree vig- 

 orous but small, upright, spreading, very productive and 

 hardy ; a valuable sort for cooking and drying, and prof- 

 itable for market. 



Jefferis. Origin Pennsylvania. Medium, roundish ; yel- 

 low, shaded and splashed with red ; flesh white, tender,
