 ture Commission called this the Cross Apple to distinguish it from 

 Cross (15 M.) . Prof. Budd suggests the name Large Anis for Cross 413. 

 As the name Cross has long been given to another apple in Maryland it 

 appears that Nos. 15 ^and 413 Dept. must be retained for the 

 present.

 ered with mixed dark red and crimson splashes and stripes ; dots minute,
