XXV. Fall Harvey. Book of Friiits, 1st Ed. 



The late Mr. Manning considered the Fall Harvey, {fg. 

 47) " without question, the finest fall and early winter ap- 

 ple." It is a large, showy, yellow fruit, similar in general 

 appearance to the Fall Pippin, and also resembles it consid- 

 erably in its eating qualities. It v.^as first introduced tO' 

 notice, we believe, by Mr. Manning, and is supposed to have 

 originated in Essex county, Mass., where it is much culti- 

 vated, and from whence the market is mostly supplied with 

 this variety. It is a vigorous growing tree, and a good bearer.
