CRANBERRY PIPPIN. 



An apple worthy of 

 being, planted in south- 

 ern Ontario as a fancy 

 variety for export ; al- 

 though the quality is 

 ordinary and not suit- 

 able for dessert, its extreme 

 beauty when opened in 

 mid-winter, its large and 

 even size, and the pro- 

 ductiveness of the tree 

 every alternate year, 

 make it a desirable 

 variety. 



Sometimes, however, 

 this variety is subject 

 to warts and knots which 

 mar its beauty. 



Origin : accidental, 

 on a farm, near Hudson 

 N. Y. 



Tree : very vigorous, 

 healthy, spreading, and 

 productive.
