 Well known. Yery long keej^er." — Trans. Ohio Pom. 

 Society. Exhibited often before the Cincinnati Horticul-

 very early and prolific bearers ; the fruit is remarkably 

 regular, and sound, and may be easily preserved until 

 May or June, and will command about four dollars per 

 barrel at Cincinnati. It has been found to produce a 

 very rich cider. ^
