Medium to large; yellow, with a blush on the sunny side like Maiden's Blush; rich, sprightly, sub-acid; quality as good as Fameuse and something like it. December to March. Mcintosh Red. An exceedingly valuable, hardy Canada sort. Medium size, nearly cov- ered with dark red; flesh white, fine, very tender, juicy and refreshing. A good, an- nual bearer of fair, handsome fruit. Resembles the Fameuse but larger and more hard)', and fully equal in quality to this standard sort. November to February. Marshall, or Red Bellflower. Very large, deep crimson: shaped like Yellow Bellflower. of fine quality; tree produc- tive. Originated near Xapa. by J. L. Marshall, being a cross between Yellow Bell- flower and Red June.

Excels Winesap in nearly every important point, a better and much stronger grower, hardier, and the fruit much larger—often 'measures 12 inches in circumference; color even a darker red; flesh firmer, flavor, milder, but fully equal. Remarkably heavy and a long keeper. Mann.

The tree grows straight and symmetrical and makes a large tree in the orchard. It is an early and annual bearer. Newtown Pippin. One of the very best apples as to quality; tree a light grower while young; very juicy, crisp and highly delicious flavor; fine keeper. Does not succeed in all sections.
