GIBB. Gibb is another of the compara- tively worthless Russian sorts, but may be of value in the Middle West. The fruit is some- what larger than that of other Russians, ripens about the latest of the Russians, and is fair in quality. But few nurserymen offer the variety, and it is likely soon to be a fruit of the past. Gibb has been grown for a genera- tion, but when, where, and by whom originated does not appear, although it was evidently named after the great Canadian authority on Russian fruits. Tree large, vigorous, upright, hardy, productive. Leaves very large with a long gland-bearing stem. Fruit ripening -August 1st at Geneva, New York ; small, round ; apex acute; suture well-marked but not deep; skin light yellow, with a trace of color in the cheek to the sun ; flesh yellow, juicy, subacid; rather poor; stone medium to large, free, 107.
