Eemaeks. — Succeeds in all soils, and situations. Hardly 

 any superior as a Fall apple. Best, however, in limestone 

 soils. " Generally known and approved."- — Trans. Ohio

 exist, keeping better than others, which ripen too soon.

 Still, the Eambo is not overrated. If not allowed to 

 remain too long on the tree, they remain juicy and crisp 

 to the last, but they vary very much on the same tree. 

 Its greatest fault is overbearing on alternate years.

 best and handsomest sweet apples cultivated in this coun- 

 try, being tender.
