Mammoth Black Twig. {Arkansas Paragon.) Originated in Arkansas. A seedling of the Winesap, which it resembles, but it is superior in many ways. Large, deep red ; subacid ; early and abundant bearer, and a good keeper ; the tree is a strong grower, and roots well. This valuable winter apple has few equals. December to April. Michael Henry Pippin. Medium to large, smooth ; dull green, pale yellow when ripe, sometimes a faint blush ; flesh pale yellow, breaking tender, juicy ; flavor sweet, slightly aromatic ; an abundant bearer ; keeps till midwinter. Deserves more extended culti- vation. Missouri Pippin. Large, oblong ; bright red, with darker red stripes ; very handsome ; fair quality ; a good grower and an early and immense bearer ; often fruits at two years in nursery rows ; valuable for market. December to April. Xickajack. This apple is very widely disseminated in the Southern states, where* it is known under about forty different names, which is pretty good evidence that it has proved itself a valuable sort. Fruit large, roundish ; skin striped and splashed with crimson ; flesh yellowish, compact, moderately tender and juicy, subacid ; quality only good. November to March. Northern Spy. Large, conical, flattened ; striped and quite covered on the sunny side with dark crimson, and delicately coated with bloom ; flesh white, fine-grained, tender, slightly subacid ; both leaf and blossom-buds open a week later than most other sorts. An apple of very high character, but we cannot advise its planting south of Pennsyl- vania, except in mountain regions. November to February. Xero. A seedling of the Romanite which it excels in every way : a valuable winter apple
