Ohio Nonpareil.

Western Beauty, erroneously. Rusty Core. 



This is one of the most valuable of autumn Apples, whether for mar- 

 ket or table use. Its origin is in doubt, the first known trees of it being 



in the orchard of Bowman, Massillon, Ohio. The young trees are 



very vigorous, with stout, straight shoots, while the orchard trees are 

 very wide, regular, open, spreading, requiring little or no thinning, and 

 bearing the fruit evenly over the whole tree, and all fair sized, smooth 

 fruit. Young shoots smooth, rich, dark reddish brown.
