REPORT ON THE 



No. 33 



CRANBERRY PIPPIN. 



An apple worthy of 

 being planted in 

 southern Ontario as a 

 fancy variety for ex- 

 port; although the qual- 

 ity is ordinary and not 

 suitable for dessert its 

 extreme beauty when 

 opened in mid-winter, 

 its large and even size, 

 and the productiveness 

 of the tree every alter- 

 nate year, make it a de- 

 sirable variety. 



Sometimes, however, 

 this variety is subject to 

 warts and knots which 

 mar its beauty.

 N.Y.
