It seemed especially worthy of trial because of the good keeping qualities of the fruit, and the early bearing and productiveness of the trees. After twenty years of probation, however, it is now almost wholly discarded except in Ohio, but two or three nurser>'men in the country offer it, and there is but little demand for the trees. On the grounds of the New York Agricultural Experiment Station, the apples are similar to those of Rome, differing chiefly in being a little darker in color.
