 exhibition the past season, and from specimens tested by us. It is said to 

 have originated in Cambridge, Mass. ; taking its name from the person who 

 raised it. It is of medium size, tapering quickly ; smooth and regular surface 

 and outline ; ground-color deep yellow, splashed and marbled with red on

ging rays of russet about stem, with faint whitish speck or dots over its 

 entire surface ; stem rather long and slim, set in a broad and deep cavity ; 

 calyx set in a moderately-shallow plaited basin ; flesh fine-grained, tender,

 ihe flesh of the apple. Time of ripening, last of September and first of 

 October. From what we saw of this apple, we were quite pleased wiih it. 

 We do not know if it has ever been disseminated.
