Christmas Pearmain
AppleMedium, of excellent flavour; beautiful red cheek and russet markings; an enormous cropper; the tree is a good grower, free from canker; a good round tree. In purchasing it, our idea was that it would take the place of the King of Pippins for dessert or market, as the latter is subject to canker, and can only be grown well in a few localities. Season: November-December.
