An apple that is 

 constantly gaining 

 in favor with both 

 grower and con- 

 sumer, because of 

 its size, its beauty, 

 its evenness of form 

 and general excel- 

 lence for cooking 

 and dessert pur- 

 poses. It is grown 

 in the counties of 

 Prince Edward' 

 Victoria, Lincoln 

 and elsewhere, and 

 is highly valued as 

 a commercial apple. 

 It certainly deserves 

 to be more gener- 

 ally planted. 



Origin : a garden 

 in Woodstock, Eng- 

 land, near the resid- 

 ence of the Duke of 

 Marlboro' ; shown at 

 a meeting of the 

 London Horticul-
