Full Butter. [L. Jones.] * 



There are many apples with this name, but my good

 and deserving the name from its adaptation to the making 

 of apple butter. Found in a seedling orchard of Eastern 

 Indiana, and a distinct sort.

 ish-yellow ; Dots minute, prominent. 



Basin regular, abrupt, brown ; Eye medium, closed. 



Cavity deep, narrow, green ; Stem short. 



Core medium, round, open, clasping ; Seeds numerous, 

 short, plump, dark ; Flesh yellowish-white, breaking, fine- 

 grained, juicy ; Flavor sweet ; Quality best for table, bak- 

 ing and apple butter ; Season, December and January.

 dium, curved.
