Fruit medium or above, yellow, sometimes with shade of brownish-red; 

 flesh rather coarse, aromatic, subacid and excellent in quality for either 

 dessert or culinary uses. It is much subject to scab and a comparatively 

 large percentage of the crop is apt to be unmarketable unless thorough treat- 

 ment is given to prevent injury from insects and fungus diseases. The tree 

 is rather large, vigorous, hardy, long-lived and moderately productive yield- 

 ing moderate to heavy crops biennially. In some sections it is regarded as a 

 pretty good commercial variety particularly in portions of Eastern New York. 



Historical. In 1857 Downing wrote (3) regarding this variety, that al- 

 though it was one of the finest American fruits and an old variety, it was not 

 generally known. It was said to have been cultivated in Westchester and 

 adjoining counties for more than fifty years where it was considered profit- 

 able for market and superior for family use. So far as we can learn Golding 

 is now seldom or never planted in New York.

Fruit of good medium size, greenish-yellow, sometimes with slight blush. 

 It shows the marks of handling readily, is not very uniform in size nor does 

 it excel _n auality. Season late fall and early winter. The tree is a good 

 thrifty grower, comes into bearing young, is reliably productive and is almost 

 an annual bearer, yielding moderate to good crops. It does not appear to 

 be valuable for planting in New York. 



Historical. A Russian variety which has been disseminated for trial in 

 various sections of the country. It has been thus far but little planted in 

 this state.
