"In genera 1 it may tbe said that this variey is well

at the highest elevations, though there are apparently some 
exceptions to this, which are probably due to lécal condit- 
ions. In the Georgia ana South Carolina portions of the Pied 
mont sections and extending to an elevation of perhaps 1,400 
or 1,500 feet, some excellent results have been obtained 
with it where the trees have been given moderately high cul-

"No important commercial plantings of this veriety 
exist in these regions, but in very limited number of trees, 
it may be found in a few widely seperatea orchards. 
At the lower levelys it usually drops prematurely, and 
even on the Porter's black loam at 2,000 feet elevation, it 
often rots and drops seriously. In Albemarly County, Virgin-
