. Elliott's fruit book;. Fruit-culture; Fruit. [from old catalog]. WORTHY GENERAL CULTIVATION. 69 Belmont. Gate, I White Apple, Mamma Beam, Kelley White, Golden Pippin of some, J Waxen of American. By some stated to have originated in Virginia, by others in Pennsylvania, and, on the authority of Prof. Kirtland, Mr. Downing in his first edition of " Fruits and Fruit Trees," made it synonymous with the " Waxen" of Coxe. As this is yet uncertain, we adopt the name by which the fruit is most largely known. Tree, healthy, vigorous, spreading, wood yellowish, good bearer, does not succeed on the alluvial soils of the West, but on all high, warm, or limestone soils does finely, and makes a large tree. Size, medium to large; form, irregular, usually roundish, some- times oblong rounded. South it grows very large, and also West, on new rich soils in Wisconsin; but grown South its delicacy, fine grain and flavor are lost. Skin, thin, smooth, glossy, or oily; color, rich clear light yellow; at South with a few dark brown specks, and North with a clear vermillion red cheek, with carmine spots; South slight russet marblings, and much of mould or fungus; stem, me- dium length, projecting slightly beyond the surface, always slender; calyx, varying from small and close to open and reflexed; basin, from shallow to rather deep, always furrowed; flesh, yellowish white, fine grained, very tender, juicy, sprightly, sub-acid; Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Elliott, Franklin Reuben, 1817-1878.
