yellowish white; form, roundish, a little flat; size, 2; 

 use, table ; quality, 1 ; season, October to February. 



Remarks. — Succeeds in all soils, and situations. Hardly 

 any superior as a Fall apple. Best, however, in limestone 

 soils. -'Generally known and approved." — Trans. Ohio 

 Pom. Society. " The Eambo, the Smokehouse, aud Fallr 

 Pippin are preferred to all others .of the season, for the 

 table (so far as varieties have been proved here)." — 

 American Pom. Society, Washington. Thi^ variety is found 

 wherever Pennsylvania Germans settle. Some varieties 

 exist, keeping hotter than others, which ripen too soon. 

 With us (Cincinnati), it is generally large, and is a Fall 

 fruit, which becomes very dry and mealy in November. 

 Still, the Eambo is not overrated. If not allowed to 

 remain too long on the tree, they remain juicy and crisp 

 to the last, but they vary ver}^ mnch on the same tree. 

 Its greatest fault is overbearing on alternate years.

 best and handsomest sweet aj)ples cultivated in this coun- 

 try, being tender.
