As this and Striped Winter Pearmain in the second revised edition 

 have proved to be identical, we give a new description with the addition- 

 al syns. An old variety, which originated in the orchard of George 

 McAfee, near Harodsburg, Mercer County, Ky. We are indebted to 

 Dr. William Howsley, of Leavenworth, Kansas, for its history, origin, 

 etc. Tree very vigorous, forming a round spreading head. It does not 

 come early into bearing, but is very productive when it attains some 

 age. It is considerably grown through the West and South-west under 

 the name of Striped Winter Pearmain, also more or less by the syns. as 

 given above. It is valued in many localities as one of the best of its 



season ; in others of but little value. 



Fruit medium to large, roundish oblate, inclining to conic ; skin yel- 

 low, striped, splashed and marbled with light and dark bright red nearly 

 over the surface, yet showing the yellow ground nearly all through, thickly 

 sprinkled with large and small light dots, some areole ; stalk short to 

 long, slender ; cavity large, deep, often thinly russeted ; calyx small, 

 closed ; basin rather small, slightly plaited ; flesh yellowish, half fine, 

 crisp, tender, juicy, rich mild subacid, inclining to sweet, slightly aroma- 

 tic ; very good ; core medium. October, February. 



Mann. 



A chance seedling in the orchard of Judge Mooney, of Granby, l^T. Y. 

 Tree hardy, an upright grower, with rather slender branches, forming a 

 round head ; an early and annual bearer, a late keeper, valuable for 

 market and cooking, and a fair table fruit. 



Fruit medium to large, roundish oblate, nearly regular ; skin deep 

 yellow when fully ripe, often with a shade of brownish red where ex- 

 posed, and thickly sprinkled with light and gray dots, a few being 

 areole ; stalk short, rather small ; cavity medium or quite large, some- 

 times slightly russeted; calyx generally closed; basin rather large, 

 slightly corrugated; flesh yellowish, half fine, half tender, juicy, mild 

 pleasant subacid; good to very good; core medium. January, April.
