HISTORY, ETC. 



This variety is a native of Pennsylvania, having originated a few years ago 

 with Mr. Isaac Baxter, of Philadelphia. It has been repeatedly exhibited at 

 the meetings of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. At the meeting of the 

 American Pomological Society at Philadelphia, in September, 1852, it was tested 

 by the Native Fruit Committee, and decided to be in quality " very good." The 

 sunny side is figured in the plate, the other is less inviting, but this blemish in its 

 exterior appearance is fully compensated by its superior excellency. It is also 

 an abundant bearer.
