Buchanan's. 



Origin near Cincinnati, Ohio, in the orchard of Robert 

 Buchanan, Esq., a gentleman long devoted to pomology. 

 It also closely resembles the Brandy wine, as grown in Illi- 

 nois, already described. 



This variety is much like the Minkler, which originated 

 in Illinois, and both may have come from seeds of the Gil- 

 pin, which they resemble. 



Tree vigorous and productive.
