White Pigeon.—This is a Russian apple of United States Depart- 
ment of Agriculture importation. It was received here in 1888 from 
__ Dr. T. H. Hoskins, Newport, Vt. Top-worked on a bearing 
_ tree five years ago and bore a few fruits this season which 
ripened in August. The fruit was medium to large, roundish 
oblate conical; calyx closed, set in a shallow wrinkled basin ; 
stem long, slender, set in a deep cavity; skin pale yellow, 
splashed over half its surface with bright red; flesh nearly white, 
rather firm, not very juicy, moderately sweet, good quality and 
good flavor. | 
Professor J. L. Budd says that the Striped Anis has also been 
disseminated by the Department under the name of White 
_ Pigeon,* but the fruit produced by the White Pigeon at this sta- 
tion does not agree with his description of the fruit of Striped — 
Anis.

size, nearly symmetrical, covered with a delicate bloom; skin 
green, lightly shaded with red and with crimson cheek; basin 
shallow, wrinkled; stem medium length, slender, set in a deep 
cavity ; flesh mild subacid, fair to good in quality; begins to 
ripen here about the first of August. See also bulletin of Prof.

The following table compares the yield of the different varieties 
of apples in Station Orchard No. 2 that fruited at the station in 
1893, shows the orchard age of the trees and at the same time 
‘Indicates which of the trees were planted and which were top- 
worked on bearing stock. Since the trees are not all of the same 
orchard age, and since many varieties are just beginning to bear,
