One of the best sweet table apples — better than Highy 

 Sweet. 



May. 



lUT (of Myers) — ^bheitish mat (of Illinois.) 



This long-keeping apple has been widely disseminated 

 .throughout th6 West, and yet I do not find its history nor 

 origin. It has been exhibited at all our winter meetings, 

 •and finds favor on account of its productiveness and its 

 long-keeping properties. Tree healthy, vigorous and pro- 

 ducvive — believed to be hardy. Its reputed foreign origin 

 is discredited. 



Fruit medium, round, inclined to conical, regular ; Sur- 

 face smooth, often shining, pale greenish-yellow, often 

 faintly blushed, or bronzed.
