This rigorous, upright, and productive tree is supposed 

 to have had its origin near Dayton, Ohio, M-hence it ha» 

 been largely disseminated, giving entire satisfaction to all 

 of its planters. Foliage abundant, and quite dark 

 colored. 



Fruit always fair, regular, flat, and of large size ; Sur- 

 face smooth, pale yellow, with scattered dots that are of 

 ten colored.
