This old variety is valued only as an early cooking apple, for which it has been found very profitable, by those who attend market. Origin unknown. Introduced into the West by Silas Wharton, from the neighborhood of Philadelphia, where it was cultivated largely. Not recognized among the varieties described by Coxe. Tree spreading, open, round-headed; Twigs stout; Leaves small, mealy. Fruit medium, roundish-oblate, regular; Surface smooth, greenish-yellow, striped and splashed with red, more or less mingled; Dots minute, dark, and a light bloom. Basin medium, folded; Eye medium, closed. Cavity acute, regular, often brown; Stem medium, thick. Core regular, closed; Seeds angular; Flesh whitish, breaking, coarse, juicy, becoming dry; Quality inferior, except for cooking; Season July. =High-Top.=--[LEWIS JONES.] [Illustration: Fig. 94.--HIGH-TOP.] This handsome apple is supposed to have originated in Wayne County, Indiana, and was brought into notice by Lewis Jones. Fruit large, flat, roundish, regular; Surface smooth, mixed dull red, striped carmine; Dots scattered, minute. Basin wide, medium, folded; Eye medium, closed. Cavity wavy, brown, acute; Stem short, green.

At the second meeting of the Northwestern Fruit Growers' Convention, it was reported as having been brought from Fairfield County, Ohio; its resemblance to Townsend was also observed, but it was declared to be different in wood and buds. These apples may yet prove to be identical, but as the question is not settled, both will be described. Tree thrifty, vigorous, productive--an early bearer. Fruit medium to large, globular-oblate, regular; Surface smooth, yellow, covered with mixed red, and splashed carmine; Dots minute, yellow. Basin medium, regular; Eye medium to large, closed. Cavity medium, regular, green; Stem medium to long. Core small, closed; Seeds large, brown; Flesh light yellow, breaking, juicy; Sub-acid; Quality good; Market and kitchen; September. =Hunt.= Another of Lewis Jones' apples, supposed to be a seedling of Eastern Indiana; productive. Fruit medium, roundish-oblate, regular; Surface smooth, yellow, mixed, striped bright red; Dots numerous, yellow. Basin rather wide, abrupt, folded; Eye small, closed. Cavity wide, regular; Stem medium, slender. Core small, roundish, flattened, closed, not meeting the eye; Seeds numerous, angular; Flesh yellow, breaking, fine-grained, juicy; flavor sub-acid, aromatic; Quality good to very good; Use table, market; Season December and January. =Indiana Favorite.=
