THE APPLE. ITS VARIETIES. 51 



serted in a deep and narrow cavity, which is lined with thin russet. 

 Flesh, white tinged with red, crisp and tender, agreeably and pleasantly 

 flavored. 



A culinary apple of second-rate quality, ripe during July and August. 

 The flesh is stained with red, particularly on the side next the sun, and 

 partakes somewhat of the flavor of the strawberry. It is valued only for 

 its earliness. 



The tree is of small habit of growth, but an excellent bearer. There 

 is great confusion subsisting between this variety and the Passe-pomme 

 Rouge, which Duhamel has described under the name of Calville d'Et^.

 with numerous yellowish dots. Eye, large and closed, with long seg- 

 ments set in a deep warted and wrinkled basin. Stalk, slender, three 

 quarters of an inch long, inserted in a deep cavity, which is lined with 

 thin brown russet. Flesh, greenish white stained with red, not very

 growing as dwarfs on the paradise stock, and requires a rich and warm 

 soil.
