3. DEARBORN'S SEEDLING. 



Tree vigorous, rather spread- 

 ing; shoots dark brown. Bears 

 abundantly in all soils. 



Fruit small ; regularly tur- 

 binate ; light clear yellow, with 

 a little russet. Skin very 

 thin. 



Flesh white, juicy, melting. 



Flavor sweet and sprightly, 

 with a pleasant perfume. 



Tree thrifty, upright ; 

 shoots light yellowish- 

 brown. A good and con- 

 stant bearer, but suited 

 only for rich, warm soils 

 and favorable localities ; 

 requiring high culture. 



Fruit below medium ; 

 regular obovate ; clear 

 yellow. 



Flesh white, and half 

 buttery, not fine-grained. 



Flavor sweet, sometimes very slightly astringent, and, when 

 raised in warm soils, with house ripening, very good. 



Ripens in the latter part of August.
