Fig. 130.— LOUDON PIPPIN. 



Ohio Pippin. ^ 



Ernst's apple. — buchanan, etc. — shannon: 



We owe our acquaintance with this fine large fhiit to 

 the late Mr. A. H. Ernst, long President of the Ohio Po- 

 mological Society, who furnished trees to Mr. Robert 

 Buchanan, an enthusiastic Pomologist of Cincinnati Both 

 these gentlemen were too modest to permit their names 

 to be attached to a fruit which they did not originate, but 

 which they have aided to distribute. Another focus of 

 distribution was the orchard and nursery of R. W. Todd, 

 at Madison, Indiana, and the fruit has been received un- 

 der the name of Shannon, from Doctor J. A. Dibrell, of 

 Van Buren, Arkansas. Origin Dayton, Ohio, from whence 

 it was procured personally by Mr. Todd, many years ago, 

 and the grafts set by him are the oldest trees known. 



Tree healthy, vigorous, large, spreading ; Shoots stout, 

 dark ; Leaves large.
