size, 2 ; use, table ; quality, 1 ; season, January to 

 March. 



Eemarks. — "Good keeper; second-rate." — Trans. Ohio 

 Pom. Society. We consider it nearer ISTo. 1, near Cincin- 

 nati. Exhibited late in the season before the Horticul- 

 tural Society, and is fast growing to be a favorite. It is 

 sound and good till Spring. Prolific, and a good keejDcr; 

 nearly first-rate in quality ; a safe-keeping variety, and a 

 juicy and good apple in January and February. Often 

 confounded with the Michael Henry Pippin, from which 

 it is not easily distinguished by the taste ; seeds, pale 

 brown, while those of the Michael Henry, are nearly 

 black. The shape is also more conical — hence its syno- 

 nyme, Sheepnose. Michael Henry often becomes cottony 

 and tasteless. White Winter Pearmain is crisp and juicy. 

 See Michael Henry.
