FrONCLIN. 



Originated in Lancaster Co., Pa., where the original tree is supposed 

 to be over one hundred years old. It is a rapid grower, bearing pro- 

 fusely even when young, but the fruit is rather too acid to please many 

 tastes.

 red. Flesh yellowish white, tender, juicy, sharp subacid. Good. Sep- 

 tember, November. 



Front Door. 

 From Michigan, origin unknown. 



Fruit medium to large, oblate, yellow, striped and splashed with 

 red. Flesh whitish, tender, juicy, subacid. Good. September. 



FuLLERTON SWEET.

 Co., N. Y. It much resembles the Autumn Sweet Bough.

 brown dots. Flesh white, juicy, tender, honeyed sweet. Yery good. 

 Core small. October, November.

 Downing, Canton, Fulton Co., 111., a vigorous grower, hardy, regular in 

 form, an annual and productive bearer. Young shoots slender, clear light 

 reddish brown. 



Size about medium, oblate, light yellow, sprinkled with green or 

 gray dots, having a blush on the sunny side. Stalk three-fourths of an 

 inch, rather slender, inserted in a broad deep cavity. Calyx large, open. 

 Segments small, recurved, in a pretty large basin. Flesh yellowish, 

 juicy, tender, mild subacid, almost sweet. Good to very good. Core 

 small. November to February.

Origin same as the Fulton. Tree vigorous, stout, spreading grower, 

 hardy, does not come early into bearing. Young wood grayish brown, 

 slightly downy. 



Fruit medium, oblate, whitish, mostly overspread, striped, splashed, 

 and mottled with shades of red. Flesh whitish, tinged with pink, juicy, 

 pleasant subacid. Good. Core small. September. 



Fulwood. 

 Green Fulwood. 



Lindley and Hogg both describe this culinary Apple as large, round- 

 ish, ribbed, green, with broken stripes of dull red in sun. Flesh greenish 

 white, firm, crisp, brisk acid. November to March. 



There is also a White Fulwood described which is probably identical 

 with the above.
