The Mother apple, originated in Bolton, Massachusetts, on the farm of a General Gordon, and first came to notice at an exhibition of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society in 1844. It is now practically lost to cultivation in the United States. But the English currently recognize it as one of the finest of fall apples, calling it American Mother to distinguish it from another ancient English apple with this name; and it can be found listed in almost any good English fruit nursery catalog. It ripens here the middle of September, but unfortunately does not keep in prime condition beyond the end of October.
