Kemarks. — One of the best cooking ai^ples, and quite 

 rich for table when ripe. Except with Mr. W. Orange, 

 who grows it on a sloping ground, with a north-east 

 aspect, it is too lai-ge and spongy in these parts, becoming 

 russety. It here. generally falls and decays badly. .Very 

 different in Ehode Island and elsewhere, to what it is 

 here. There a very fine and valuable apple. Eequires % 

 very rich soil, the lime and phosphate, Avhich is probably 

 the reason it does. not do well with us (Cincinnati), being 

 subject to bitter rot. " Highlj' approved, but liable to rot 

 and speck in most localities West." — Tians. Ohio Pom. 

 Society. Flesh, rich yellow. Grows well in the iSTorth in 

 a thin sand. It varies much in different localities. With 

 Mr. Petticoias it has done verj- well so far, bearing good 

 crops of fine apples. Eather tart for the dessert, but 

 excellent for cooking. None of the Eastern apples are so 

 compact here as there, but they are generally larger and 

 more open tissue. It sells well. 



Rihsion Pippin, Glory of Turk, Trovers, and Formosa,, or 

 Beautiful Pippin. Color, greenish yellow, russet near the 

 stem, dull red in the snn ; size, 2 ; use, table and kitchen ; 

 season, October to January. 



Eeiiaeks. — The finest apple in England. The flesh, 

 there, rich, firm, yellow, aromatic sub-acid. "Valuable in 

 Northern regions, a failure in the South, or Central. 

 "English, excellent in some localities, chiefly North." — 

 Trans. Ohio Pom. Society. " Does not equal, by any means, 

 and at a long distance, its European and Northern char- 

 acter, in the West." — Dr. J. A. Warder (one of our best 

 pomologists). Doubtful if we have this apple genuine. 

 There is a great difference of opinion on that subject. 

 The specimens we have seen here, are so different fi-om
