(Early Summer) juicy ; highest quality ; tree is a good 
grower, but must have fertile soil 
■ and good air drainage. Hardy;

waxen, brilliant skin, which 
gives it a transparent appearance. Fine-grained white flesh, 
sprightly sub-acid, pleasant. Unexcelled for pies, tarts, and

and the growth forced by too much fertilization. Succeeds 
on thin soils.

planted in the Virginias and Central West. A very regular 
bearer, beginning about the seventh year; seldom fails. A 
leading export apple.
