The encyclopedia of practical horticulture; a reference system of commercial horticulture, covering the practical and scientific phases of horticulture, with special reference to fruits and vegetables;. Gardening; Fruit-culture; Vegetable gardening. APPLES 209 ning of the nineteenth century- This view is supported by the fact that before the Civil War it had spread through the states of Virginia, Kentucky and Tennes- see, and following the routes of migration had been carried into Southern Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Arkansas. Tree medium size, rather rank grower, especially when young, forming coarse strong wood which seldom breaks under heavy crops. Branches strong with num- erous rather short laterals or spurs, often inclined to bend or droop. Form upright becoming roundish, and in old trees rath- er spreading. Bark bright, rather dark brownish red, continuously mottled with fine scarf skin, pubescent. Fruit usually above medium to large. Form roundish varying from somewhat conical to somewhat oblong, broad, round- ed at the base, often somewhat elliptical or slightly irregular, sides somewhat un- equal ; rather uniform in shape and in size. Skin tough, waxy, bright, smooth, usually glossy, clear yellow or greenish. Season from January to June. Buckingham This variety originated in the South, some say in Virginia and others say in North Carolina; but it seems not well adapted to the northerh sections of the United States. It has long been known in New Jersey, Virginia and westward in Southern Ohio, Southern Indiana and other parts of the Middle and Southern states. The tree is a moderate grower, twigs short and rather slender; bark smooth, clear, reddish brown mingled with olive green. Fruit large; form oblate to roundish, somewhat irregular, sides sometimes un- equal. Skin thick, tough, pale yellow or pale green, washed and mottled with red, striped and blushed with carmine. Flesh tinged with yellow, moderately firm, coarse, rather tender, crisp, juicy wit
