Flesh —white and tender, and with a rich and lively flavor.

Quality —very good. 
On a careful examination of this apple, the Committee on 
Fruits thought it well worthy of notice and trial, and named it 
the 66 Wauwatosa ,” in order to indicate its native origin. It 
was raised from seed, by Mr. Gatlin, and has been in bearing 
for the last five years, and he has found it hardy and produc¬ 
tive. It is a fruit of large size and handsome appearance, and 
compared favorably with the fine specimens of the numerous 
old varieties, by which it was surrounded. The Committee, on 
tasting it, decided that its eating qualities were equal to its 
good looks. By some, it was thought similar in taste to the 
Porter apple, but on actual comparison, was found superior to 
that variety, in richness and sprightliness of flavor. It ap¬ 
pears to be of the character of the fine old Fall Pippin, 
and, as a native seedling, the Committee hope that it may prove 
more hardy, and better suited to withstand the severe and sud¬ 
den extremes of our western climate, that impairs the value 
of so many of the fine old varieties, which we have prized from 
our boyhood, in the East, but which we try in vain to make 
productive in Wisconsin.

award the premiums as follows :
