Blue Ridge region, it may be kept under fairly favorable 
conditions until early winter. Grown in Ceéil County at 
1,000 feet elevation it lacks its rich color and high fla- 
vor, the size is somewhat smaller, yet this combination of 
conditions appears to meet the requirements of the variety 
fairly well." 
Grimes attains highest perfection in this section, and 
is highly recommended for Maryland. 
Jonathan, 
"This variety occurs oniy rarely, and reference is 
here mgaade to it because of the possible value it may pos- 
sess for these regions. The tree is not alwaysa s vigorous 
as might be desired, but usually no sericus difficulty exis- 
ts in this respect. Fairly early bearing is a characteristic 
Normally its season is late fall or early winter, but if 
grown at noderately high elevations it would probably reach 
maturity sufficiently late to permit of its being handled 
in cold storage, for which it is especially well adapted. 
It possesses exceptionally high dissert qualityand ranks as 
an important commercial variety in some sections of the 
country.
