smooth. Skin thin and tender for an English sort, pale yellowish 

 green. Pulp sweet, very good. This variety has been long known 

 in the United States. It was recommended both by the New York 

 Agricultural Society and the American Pomological Society in 

 1850. It was figured in the Horticulturist, Vol. I, p. 448, where it 

 is said to be quite as good among the whites as Crown Bob among 

 the reds (Fig. 75). 



English Varieties Mentioned, but little Known 

 IN THE United States 



The following varieties, though for the most part 

 little known in the United States, have received men- 

 tion in American literature, and have doubtless all 

 been grown here at one time or another. Both Down- 

 ing and Fuller mention additional varieties of promise 

 which had apparentlj^ not been tried on this side the 

 water. No doubt others, not included in this or the 

 preceding list, have also been brought to America 

 without attracting general attention:
