AMERICAN HOME GARDEN. 



Tree of straight and rapid growth, and a free bearer of fair 

 fruit. 



Fruit small, rather flat, smooth, yellow, with red cheek and 

 small russet dots. 



Flesh yellowish, firm, tender, and somewhat juicy. 



Flavor subacid. Ripens from January to August. 



This apple is remarkable for its peculiarities rather than its 

 value. It is too small for profitable marketing, and the value 

 it might otherwise derive from its keeping quality is neutral- 

 ized by the fact that larger and better fruits may be kept till 

 new apples come in, except, possibly, in southern climates.
