 County Horticultural Society in 1848 and was included in 

 the American Pomological catalogue in 1877. It has not 

 attained commercial importance until late years. At the 

 present time, it is being planted quite extensively in the 

 Hudson Valley and some parts of New England, and its 

 dissemination seems to be on the increase. It has' been

 which it is supposed, to be a seedling, but is much more 

 vigorous and healthy . x The fruit is of uniform size, sym-

 Valley where fancy trade apples are grown. The tree is a

 grown only in those regions near city markets where the
