Huntington. 



Origin New Rochelle, and brought to our notice by T. R. 

 Carpenter. It was found in the woods a fe^v years since by Mr.

 forming a pyramid, an early and profuse bearer. 



Fruit nearly medium in size, roundish, obconic, truncate, some- 

 times oblate. Skin rough-yellow, often shaded with crimson, 

 thickly covered with grey and crimson dots, and russet patches. 

 Stalk medium or long, nearly straight, cavity broad and uneven. 

 Calyx open, segments stiff, basin broad and open. Flesh white,
