This variety is showy, annually productive, and that is all of its good 

 qualities. We present the drawing to aid the unacquainted to detect it, as 

 the name often aids in its sale. Dr. Warder, at the late Ohio Pom. Meet- 

 ing, stated that it came originally from Kaighn's Point, and the name, Spit- 

 zenforg, was derived from a mountain "berg." Fruit, large, oblong rounded ; 

 yellow, mostly overspread with bright clear red ; stem, about even with 

 surrounding surface : cavity, deep, regular ; calyx, small ; basin, slightly 

 furrowed ; core, small j seeds, irregular in form ; flesh, yellowish, coarse, 

 dry ; " good." November and December. Often grown in Michigan as 

 Red Befleflower.
