The Apples of Xew York. 



Potter's Large (8). Potter's Large Grey Seedling (5). Potter's Large 

 Seedling (2). 



A very large, handsome, late autumn apple, desirable for cooking but not 

 for dessert use. Tree a strong grower and a fair cropper. Not recommended 

 for planting in New York. 



According to Hogg (8) the Kentish Fillbasket of Miller, Forsyth and 

 Rogers is a different variety being evidently the Kentish Codlin or common 

 old English Codlin, a lemon-3-ellow apple which is in season from August 

 to October. 



The Kentish Fillbasket of BueU appears to be the same as that of 

 Forsyth. 2 



Historical. This is an old English variety. It has been sparingly culti- 

 vated in portions of New York state for many years and has been grown to 

 some extent also in Ontario (12).
