■sweet and of use for cooking. Ripe in September and does not keep long. Tree not 

 hardy . 



Another Malinovskoe is described by Dr. Regel. A small sized, round, reddish applet 

 grown about St. Petersburg and Moscow. Flesh white, often redish, under the skin, 

 tender, juicy, agreeable, vinous acid, with a nice aftertaste. The tree stands the worst 

 winters in St. Petersburg!!. The fruit is nice looking and recommended for table use on 

 account of its fine flavor. Season from September until the end of winter, 



Mr. Saunders, of vVashiao-ton, says; — A small apple very brilliant in color, 

 crimson. Flesh white and very jaicy, sweet and crisp. Ac;ordino^ to the cut 

 given by Mr. Saunders, it cannot be the first given above. From the descrip- 

 tion given it does not seem to be the second. See No. 340, lor the Malinovskoe 

 Lievlandskoe, (Lievlander Himbeerapfel) is the Himbeerapfel or Malinovskoe of 

 Mr. Goeggiger, of Higa; that is I mean the same in name. 



290— Ukrainskoe; — Ukraine; — I saw this in bearing at Mr, Underwood's. The 

 fruit was large and fine, though top grafted on crab, I saw it in bearing at 

 Vilna in the west of Russia; a large apple like an uncolored Northern Spy. It 

 has the name in Rus-sia of being a hardy tree, but a light bearer of apples 

 of second quality that keep and ship well. I rather think t'lis apple is true 

 to name. 



304. Suislepper; Switzer; — Mr. Webster says we have a hardy, vigorous 

 tree, a good bearer of handsome apples, valuable for home use and for market. 

 Fruit medium to large, often covered with red; juicy, half fine, tender, with a 

 fine sub-acid, slightly quince in flavor, more like French than Russian apples. 

 A good keeper for its season, which is September and October. Dr. Hoskins, 

 however, says as it bears on the ends of the shoots it is apt to fall off. Other 

 than that, he is inclined to think highly of it. It is certainly an apple of fine 

 quality and Mr. Downing says "Undoubtedly valuable for home use or com- 

 merce.' ' 



815, Herrenapfel; Lord's apple; — Mr. Tnttle describes this as a large fruit, 

 the size of Blue Pearmain, with much the same color and bloom; a clear, strong, 

 pleasant acid; an apple that hangs well on the tree and keeps longer than Long- 

 field. Mr. Tuttle also says the tree is hardy and a good grower, so that he con- 

 siders it one of the most valuable he has tested. Mr. Sias says on Hyslop crab 

 stock, only medium in size and not quite as good a keeper as Blue Pearmain. 

 This is evidently an Arabskoe. The Riga catalogues contain both the names of 

 Arabskoe and Herrenapfel, although Mr. Wagner does not mark either of them 

 as late winter. Mr. H. Goegginger says that the Herrenapfel or more correctly 

 the Polnischer Herrenapfel is of medium size, red all over, of the first quality, 

 and a good market apple from October to December. He says further that it is 

 ajhardy and large tree which bears very well; and iie thinks highly of it. 



316. Rothe Reinette; Red Queen; — This Mr. Tuttle believes to be the same 

 as his Rennet Red. Fruit of good size, dark green with red side; keeps till 

 March. 



317. Golubinoe; Beeloe; White Pigeon; — This is a small fruit, very conic in 

 form, with wrinkled eye and no basin. A sweet apple, of fine but very peculiar 

 flavor, and of defective texture. Both Mr. Sias and Mr. Webster speak of the 

 extra hardiness of this tree. Those who have fruited this do not speak of its 

 defective texture and I must have tested an unfair sample. Mr. Sias says " ten- 

 der and juicy."
