Hyakume ripens from the middle to the last of September, the bulk of the crop ripening together, which is also true of Yemon, which ripens Dext. Tane-nashi ripens with Yemon and Hachiya with Okame, Yeddo-ichi early in October, Costata later in the month, and Tsuru latest of all, often hanging on the trees until mid-winter. The Best Varieties.—Tane-nashi, Okame, Yemon and Yeddo-ichi excel in quality, perhaps in the order named. Okame, on account of its long season, exquisite beauty and superior quality, is the best for home use and local market. Hachiya is not as good a shipper or bearer as some, but is valued for its immense size and showiness. For market, Tane-nashi and Yemon, of the light-fleshed kinds, and Hyakume and Yeddo-ichi, of the dark-fleshed kinds, are good shippers and desirable ; Okame is also good. For early market, Taber's No. 129 ranks first, but Taber's No. 23 and Zengi are also desirable. For late market, Costata (this variety is very distinct and handsome in both tree and fruit). For very late market, Tsuru. VARIETIES DESCRIBED. Costata.
