This fine apple is believed to have originated at Edin- 

 burgh, Indiana, and was brought to the notice of the State 

 Society by the orchardist whose name it bears, and by 

 whom it has been distributed. As it appears to be distinct 

 from any known fruit, it is here described. Tree vigor- 

 ous and sufficiently productive.
