In many localities it has proven a very satisfactory variety for the commercial orchard, because the tree is a fine grower, hardy, pretty long-lived, comes into bearing rather young and is a reliable cropper, yielding good to heavy crops biennially or almost annually. In many cases the fruit does not mature uniformly and there is considerable loss...

As grown at this Station it begins to ripen in late September or early October. In Western New York it cannot be expected to keep much later than October in ordinary storage without considerable loss but in cold storage it may be held until December or January (31).

The crop ripens unevenly and a considerable portion of the fruit is liable to drop before -it is ready to pick. On this account it is best to make two or three pickings.

Page 237 - We see, therefore, that they were called Joannina, because they ripened about St. John's Day. We have also among the old French pears Amire Joannet — the Admired, or Wonderful Little John, which Merlet informs us was so called, because it ripened about St. John's Day. If then we add to Joannet the termination ing, so general among our names of apples, we have Joanneting. There can be no doubt that this is the correct derivation, and signification of the name of this apple...

It has proved so far a remarkably vigorous and healthy grower, making probably more well matured...
