The Yandevere is an old fruit, a native of Wilmington, Del., 
and took its name from a family there, and when growing on 
highly cultivated soil is much admired for culinary purposes, 
but is sometimes subject to bitter rot, and is now mostly super- 
seded by the Smoke house and Republican Pippin, which are 
supposed to be seedlings of the old Vandever, and of much 
better quality, moderate, horizontal growth, not very productive. 
Fruit of medium size, oblate. Stem about an inch long, inserted 
in a deep cavity. Calyx small and closed, set in a round moderate 
basin. Colour waxen yellow, striped with red and covered with 
numerous green dots. Flesh yellowish, compact, but tender, 
with a fine rich, sub-acid flavour. October to January. 
Red Yandevere is said to be distinct and of better quality, 
less subject to bitter rot.
