Having been disappointed in my trees obtained for this variety,
which proved to be Rawle's Janet, I prefer to quote from Mr.
Downing. What I have fruited and described as the Hocking may
prove to be the same.
"Origin Pennsylvania. Tree healthy, vigorous, very productive.
"Fruit medium, oblate, slightly conic. Skin pale yellow, striped and
splashed with red, and covered with a thin bloom. Stalk rather long,
slender, inserted into a medium cavity. Calyx closed, set in a basin of
moderate depth. Flesh white, tender, very mild, agreeable, sub-acid
flavor. Ripe middle of August to middle of September. Hocking of the
West may prove to be the same."
Trader's Fancy.
This peculiar looking apple originated in Washington County,
Pennsylvania. Tree vigorous, healthy, spreading, round-headed, very
productive, bears regularly. As a long keeper, with dark skin, that
does not show bruises, it became a favorite with shippers on the
Ohio river, hence its name, the flat-boats that stop from port to port
to dispose of their cargoes being called trading boats, and their
masters traders.
Fruit medium, regular, oblate; Surface very smooth, greenish
yellow, almost completely obscured with deep purple red, mixed and
striped, and covered with a white bloom.
Basin wide, sometimes folded or plaited; Eye small, closed.
Cavity wide, regular; Stem medium, slender.
Core medium, closed; Seeds plump; Flesh whitish, tender, fine-
grained; Flavor mild sub-acid; Quality only good; Use market and
kitchen; Season January to May.
Twenty-Ounce Pippin.
Origin unknown, and the variety never should have been
distributed; it is here named to put people on their guard against it
when they desire to purchase the Cayuga Red Streak, also called the
Twenty-ounce apple.
Fruit large, flat, regular; Surface greenish, more or less mottled
and striped dull red.
Basin, wide, regular, or wavy; Eye small, open.
Cavity wide, regular, green; Stem short, thick.
Core large, closed; Seeds numerous, angular; Flesh yellow-white,
breaking; Flavor acid, with a peculiar aroma, not agreeable; Quality
poor; Use kitchen only; Season November to January. There are
many better apples of its season.
Vance's Harvest.
A pretty little early apple grown in some parts of the West. Origin
unknown.
Fruit small, flat, regular; Surface smooth, rich yellow, shaded and
splashed bright red; Dots small, scattered, yellow.
Basin small, regular; Eye small, closed.
Cavity wide, regular, brown; Stem long.
Core wide, regular, meeting the eye; Seeds numerous, short,
plump, dark; Flesh yellow, firm, breaking, not very juicy; Flavor acid

MUSGROVE'S COOPER—BIG RAMBO—OHIO BEAUTY.
Fig. 115.—WESTERN BEAUTY.
A valuable fall and early winter fruit, the origin of which is not
known; it is considerably grown in Central Ohio, and has attracted
attention under its synonyms as given. It was at one time thought to
be the Cooper.
Mr. W.F. English, of Auglaize County, Ohio, carried grafts into that
region from Pickaway County, and in a most disinterested manner
exerted himself to distribute the variety. In a communication to the
Western Horticultural Review, for February, 1853, he says: "The tree
is vigorous, leaves upon young shoots are often three to three and a
half inches broad, and four or five, and even six inches long; shoots
stout, being often as large as your little finger at the end of the
summer's growth. The form of the tree is peculiar, and its
appearance beautiful; once seen, it may be recognized anywhere by
its habit."
Having fruited this variety in my own orchard, I can confirm the
above, and add:
Tree vigorous, large, spreading, open head, productive, an early
bearer.
Fruit large, sometimes very large, beautiful, regular, oblate, not
disposed to rot, except when attacked by the birds, which are very
fond of it; Surface smooth, pale yellow, partially covered with mixed
red, striped and often distinctly splashed with bright red; Dots
numerous, gray, prominent; Skin quite thin.
Basin wide, regular, sometimes cracked open; Eye large, closed.
Cavity wide, regular, green, and partly brown; Stem either short or
long.
Core large, nearly closed, clasping the eye; Seeds numerous,
medium, pointed; Flesh light yellow, almost white, brittle, tender,
juicy, almost melting, never water-cored; Flavor sub-acid, vinous,
delicious, satisfying; Quality best; either for table or cooking, for the
latter purpose they may be taken when half grown in the beginning
of July. In August they may be house-ripened and found good, but
the proper season is September to Christmas; if properly cared for
they may be preserved plump until March, but lose some of their
refreshing flavor.

This very nice little apple was sent to me with this name from
Western Virginia, by Julius Brace, who found it abundant on Paint
Creek. I have not yet been able to identify it, but it may prove to be
the same as some of our new southern varieties. An outline and
description are here given with its local name, in the hope that if it
should prove to be the same as the Black Annette, of the Clinch river
region of Virginia, or some other variety, the identity may be the
more readily traced.
Fruit small, regular, oblate, or globular-oblate; Surface smooth,
nearly covered with very deep red, in which the stripes are almost
obscured; Dots numerous, minute, white.
Basin, deep, regular, plaited or folded; Eye small, closed.
Cavity regular, acute; Stem long, red.
Core regular, closed, meeting, not clasping the eye; Seeds small,
plump; Flesh white, fine-grained, crisp, tender, juicy; Flavor mild
sub-acid, agreeable; Quality best; Use table; Season January.
This is different from Wilson's of Michigan, which is yellow.
