narrow, ridged, deep, russeted; stem, medium short; basin, medium deep, ridged; 

 calyx, closed; flesh, yellow, nearly fine; core, nearly closed; flavor, pleasant, acid;

J. Sexton: All the above appear alike to me, except No. 105, which Is different in 

 tree. 



A. G. Tuttle: I do not think there is any difference in them. 



J. B. Mitchell: I find Vargul, Bergamot an(J German Galville more valuable than 

 Antonovka, although very similar. 



ANISIM GROUP. 



Anisim; U M and 18 M of Budd; Zuzoff of Tuttle; Good Peasant of 

 Patten; Borsdorfer of Wragg; Peterson's Anisim; Swedish Bors- 

 dorf of Patten. This variety is proving very valuable in Minnesota 

 and other parts of the Northwest, and has been grown in Wiscon- 

 sin, Iowa and Minnesota under several different names as originally 

 imported from Russia, but which now all give way to the name 

 Anisim. 



Description: Anisim— Size, Hi ; form, roundish, inclining to conical; color, green- 

 ish ground nearly covered with a very dark red. with a bluish bloom with minute 

 whitish dots; cavity, medium, slightly russeted, acute; stem, short, medium; basin, 

 small, wrinkled, shallow; calyx, closed; flesh, white, fine grained, juicy; flavor, 

 pleasant sub-acid; season, November to January; origin, Kussia; tree, a prodigious 

 bearer; young trees upright, spreading with age; limbs, long, slender, with a very 

 strong shoulder; leaves, narrow, pointed, dark green. 



N. E.Hansen: At the agiicultural fair at Kiev, Russia, last fall, I saw the true 

 Anisim exhibited under a Russian name meaning '"Beauty." I met some of the lead- 

 ing Russian pomologists, who are endeavoring to correct the nomenclature of their 

 apples. 



A, G. Tuttle: I find the trees of the true Anisim are strongly shouldered, similar 

 to those of my Rawle's Genet before they winter-killed. Anisim is one of the very 

 best nursery trees grown. 



C. Wedge: The shoulder in the Anisim limbs Is very characteristic.

 thick and woolly. I quit propagating the trees, but people who had bought trees kept 

 coming to me for more, so I began again two years ago. 



J. Sexton: No. 4 Orel and 5 Orel are like Mallett 980 in leaf and like the above 

 three in fruit.
