An old New England variety (3). Fruit yellow, shaded and splashed with 

 light and dark red ; flesh a little coarse, subacid, good to very good ; season 

 September. It was put upon the list of the American Pomological Society 

 in 1871 (2) and dropped from that list in 1897. It is still listed by some 

 nurser3^men (6) but so far as we can learn it is practically unknown 

 among New York fruit growers.

An apple of the Fameuse group which quite closely resembles 

 Mcintosh (2), but is firmer in flesh and slightly more acid. 

 "A ver}^ attractive looking apple said to sell better than 

 Fameuse, which it does not equal in quality. Tree a strong, upright 

 grower and said to be a heavy bearer" (6). Season about 

 the same as AVealthy or earlier (i). It appears to be w^orthy 

 of testing in New York especially in those regions of the state 

 where Fameuse and Mcintosh succeed best. 



Historical. Originated about i860 at Lynn, Leeds county, Ontario, near 

 Brockville, where it has been locally grown for some years (4, 7). Mr.
