Eemarks. — This apple is of the highest excellence, and 

 early engaged the attention of the Fruit Committee of 

 the Cincinnati Horticultural Society. They have thus 

 described it: — "Medium, conical, basin shallow, often 

 plaited, stem short, skin smooth, greenish yellow when 

 ripe,blushed when exposed; flesh, firm, breaking, juicy, 

 very sweet, pleasant, lively, sub-acid ; seeds of a pecu- 

 liarly light brown color, in a moderate cavity." This 

 very prolific and delicious variety is a good keeper, and 

 highly valuable. How could it have been confounded 

 with Michael Henry Pippin so long? We consider this 

 the best flavored dessert apple of its season (April and 

 May), retaining its juicy flavor and crispness to the last. 

 They were fine on the 10th of last June (1856). A great 

 bearer on alternate years; a little subject to scab. The 

 wood is remarkably soft, stems thick, and when loaded 

 with fruit hangs to the ground ; just the reverse of the 

 Michael Henry Pippin, which is never pendulous. (See 

 Appendix, p. 72.)
