FATHER ABBAHAM, of Illinois, not that of Coxe. 



This little southern favorite is not extensively cultivated 

 in the North, except where southern settlers have intro- 

 duced it. It is found in Illinois, Indiana and Missouri. 

 Origin believed to have been in Virginia, whence I have re- 

 ceived specimens and trees. In Kentucky it is found to 

 be a hardy drooping tree, holding the fruit well; an- 

 nually productive, valued for cider, and keeping till July 

 of next year. 



Fruit medium, globular-oblate, uneven ; Surface not 

 smooth, yellowish green, mixed, red, with stripes and 

 splashes ; the whole presenting a gray appearance ; Dots 

 minute, scattered.
