CALIFORNIA SEEDLING APPLES. 
Skinner's Seedling (Name approved by California State Horticultural 
Society, November, 1887). Syn. Skinner's Pippin, Santa Clara King.— 
Originated with Judge H. C. Skinner, on bank of Coyote, east of San Jose, 
and tree reported still standing in 1879. Recommended by B.S. Fox at 
convention of fruit growers held in San Francisco, September 8, 1859, and 
adopted for trial. Described by Committee of New Fruits, American 
Pomological Society, 1877 (p. 46), as follows:— 
“Santa Clara King: Fruit large to very large; form, oblate, conic, 
slightly mixed; color rich lemon yellow, faintly striped with bright red; 
flesh, yellowish white, very tender, juicy, sprightly, mild subacid; quality 
best. Season, September and October. This i- the best very large apple 
we have seen. Said to be a god grower and productive.”’ 
Recommended by Southern California Nurserymen’s Association for 
family use. * 
Marshall’s Red (Name approved by California State. Horticultural 
Society, November, 1887). Syn. Red Bellflower, Marshall's Seedling.— 
Originated with J. L. Marshall, Brown’s Valley, near Napa, from seeds of 
Yellow Bellflower, the branches of which interlaced with those of a Red 
June tree, and the seedling is presumably a chance hybrid between these 
two varieties. Fruited first about 1877, and generally introduced by 
Leonard Coates in 1884. The tree resembles Red June in habit of growth; 
fruit large. same shape as Yellow Bellflower, but of same color as Red 
June; quality very good; flesh firm and fine-grained; aromatic, and slightly 
more acid than the Yellow Bellflower; tree, a very heavy bearer, and the 
fruit ripens in October in the bay region.
