It was introduced by Greening Brothers, Monroe, Michigan, in 1890. However, it has not been largely planted in that state, and probably is not well adapted. In the Pacific Northwest it is regarded as one of the most beautiful ap- ples grown, but not likely to become a favorite for the markets on account of its susceptibility to bruises. Yellow Bellflower The Yellow Bellflower belongs to a group of apples, most of which have fruit predominantly yellow. The fruit of the group is characteristically oblong or roundish oblong and often markedly ovate or conic, with the core large and abaxial, cells wide open and carpels elon- gated, rather narrow and much concave.

The fruit of the Yellow Bellflower is large, but is somewhat variable in size so that there is often a large per cent of the apples, especially when grown where the rainfall is scarce during the growing season, that do not reach marketable size. At the time of picking it is gener- ally a greenish yellow, but as it ripens it comes to be a light golden yellow. It is rather acid until well ripened when it is pleasant and luscious. It is tender and easily bruised, yet when grown in some sections, if carefully handled, it keeps well, while in others it deteriorates rap- idly. In California it is one of the best apples when grown upon the highlands or mountain sides. It originated in New Jersey, and the first account we have of it is in 1817, but it soon came to be la
