164. Polosatoe Heidorns; — Heidorn's Streaked; — A vei-y beautiful, large 

 sized, striped apple, sweet and of delicate texture, but siiort in season. Such 

 were the specimens brought to the Montreal Horticultural Society Exhibition. 

 Mr. Webster finds the fruit large and fine even when grafted on crab. The 

 tree, Mr. Webster says, is of slow giowth and a moderate bearer. 



166. Aport Letny; — Summer 0' Porto; — A large, flattened, angular, brown 

 cheeked apple, of fair quality. — September. It is not of Aport or Alexander 

 likeness, says Mr. Webster. 



Dr. Kegel speaks of tliis as a fiult samples of which he received from the province of 

 Moscow, and Tchernigov, and seems to have been named by Mr. Atriganiev. It Is a* 

 first a greenish yellow, and becomes, later, a beautiful yellow, like wax with dots. 

 The flesh is tender, juicy, agreeable and mildly acid. A nice early table apple from 

 September to December. It is different from the Skvosnoi Nalio, being larger in size 

 and more yellow in color. It endures well their cold winters. The colored picture in 

 Dr. Regel's book is a somewhat ribbed apple, a good deal like Charlottenthaler. 



167. Scholtoe Sladkoe; — Yellow Sweet; — Mr. Tuttle says fruit medium to 

 large, earlier than Yellow Transparent. 



178. Barlowskoe; — Barloft'; — An apple of distinct family features, as I saw 

 it in Mr. Tuttle's orchaid showing near relationship in its size, form and color. 

 It is a sweet apple of fair quality, ripe at the beginning of September. Per- 

 haps it may be the Sweet Aport that I saw in Orel in Eussia. That grown by 

 Mr. Webster however is a flat sub-acid thin^flavored fruit and in shape more like 

 Zolotoreff and Turnipy .Tuicy and of no special merit. 



180. Nejolowskae; Negaloff ; — An October fruit of good size and fair quality, 

 but not of special value. Tree of Duchess growth, says Mr. Webster. 



182. Kalville Kwasnoilety ;— Red Summer Calville ;— Dr. Regel states that there are 

 many of these Calvilles, German, Polish and Russian, but this is the variety which has 

 been grown in the province of St. Petersburg, and specimens of it appear in the collec- 

 tion sent from Moscow and the south provinces. It is an apple about medium size, 

 pretty well covered with red. The nesh is white, near the skin a little red, very tender, 

 a highly agreeable vinous acid. It ripens the end of August and beginning of Septem- 

 ber and keeps till November or December. On dry soil the tree suffers in severe win- 

 ters, and yet it is stated to be one of the best, if not the best, summer apple for the St. 

 Petersburg climate. 



The Krasnoi Simnoi Calville which I saw in the grounds of EUwanger and 

 Barry last summer was, as far as I can remember, very liae the colored plate 

 and description of Dr. Kegel. Although in name Winter (Simnoi) it ripened in 

 August. 



Dr. Hoskins has also the Red Summer Calville which he received from James 

 A. Nelson, Indian River, Mercer county, Pa., who speaks of it as a fine, early 

 dessert apple and the only Russian he has found to be of any value. 



184. Arabskoe; — Arabian; — There is some mistake here. Both Mr. Budd 

 and Mr. Tuttle have fruited this apple, and it appears to be a Duchess or an 

 apple very closely resembling it. The Arabskoe of EUwanger and Barry is a 

 large flattish fruit, of deep pink color,|very beautiful, though only of fair quality 

 and not a long keeper like the Arabskoe we saw at Volsk. This was received 

 from Moscow, and yet hardly agrees with the description given to me by Mr- 

 Shroeder, at Moscow, as a flat, conic hard, winter apple. However No. 316, 

 Lord's apple, is a true Arabskoe. 



Dr. Regeljspeaks of the Arabskoe as being grown at St. Petersburg and in the prov- 

 inces to the south of Moscow. When on the tree the apple is green ; afterwards a 

 yellow green, and on the sunny side a peculiar shade of dark, dingy red, covering one 

 third or half of the apple. The flesh is white, hard and sour, and when ripe, somewhat
