384 ANNUAL REPORT. 



321. Pipka Sladkaja ; Sweet Pipka. — An excellent, though undersized, 

 striped, autumn sweet apple — that died from being grafted on an uncongenial 

 stock. — Sias. 



322. KovHsjhneoe; Browny; — Like Duchess, but hardier and later in the sea- 

 son, and has less acid. — Tuttle. 



824. Neemezki Kalville; — German Calville. Mr. Webster says, this tree is 

 a fair grower, an early and abundant bearer. Fruit large to very large, flat- 

 tened and ribbed. It is in best condition from December till January, but may 

 be kept till March. Specimens brought by Mr. Webster to the Montreal Horti- 

 cultural Society Exhibition, had much the appearance of the White Calville of 

 France. 



330. Polosatoe Naliwnoe; Juicy streaked; — Mr. Sias says: Fruit medium or 

 above, good in quality, tree hardy. Season last of August or the beginning of 

 September. 



Dr. Kegel says, that this grows about St. Petersburg and Pskov. Judging from the cuts 

 in Dr. Kegel's book it is a medium sized, conic, yellowish-green apple with a little red 

 on one side. It seems not quite as hardy as some ether Nalivs. 



333. Skwosnoi Krasnoi; Red Transparent; — A sweetish apple of White Astra- 

 chan type, but more bright and attractive in color. — Sias. 



334. Skwosnoi Schotoi; Yellow Transparent; — This is one of the best known 

 of the apples in this catalogue and has been propagated a good deal in the place 

 of the Tetofsky. Now Charlottenthaller looms up as a rival both in size and 

 earliness. 



335. Skwosnoi Selennoe; Green Transparent; — Much like Yellow Transpar- 

 ent, but smaller and more conical and the tree less vigorous in growth, says Mr. 

 Webster. Mr. Tuttle says it is White Astrachan. 



336. Skwosnoi Beeloe; — White Transparent; — Just like Yellow Transparent, 

 says Mr. Tuttle, if any preference I should c'loose the White. Mr. Webster 

 would leave it out in favor of the others. Jr. Hoskins says, considerably 

 smaller than Yellow Transparent; whiter, roajder and better in quality — very 

 like Early Harvest. 



337. Scrinka; — Grayest; — I have not yet heard of this Scrinkia having been 

 fruited. It is a popular autumn dessert apple in the Baltic provinces. Mr. 

 Goegginger of Riga says of the two trees named Scrinka, that the red is the 

 valuable one. This, as received from Mr. Goegginger, is not that which Mr. 

 Budd had received from St. Petersburg. Mr. Budd says it is very distinct in 

 tere. The fruit sent hy Mr. Goegginger to Montreal this autumn was mostly a 

 dull red, in close marblings and stripes. I mention this to enable the fruit to be 

 identified. 



338. Gruscheffka Revelskaja; — Revel Pear; — This I saw in the orchards of 

 Mr. Sias. It is mild in flavor, being neither sweet nor sub-acid; water cored, 

 but very nice; very good quality for an apple of that kind. 



340. Himbeerapfel Lievlander; — Lowland Raspberry; — A medium sized, 

 ribbed apple, of pretty good quality, says Mr. Tuttle. 



Dr. Kegel says that lie has only seen samples of this from the Baltic provinces. Judg- 

 ing by the cat it would appear to be an apple above medium in size and roundish conic, 

 in color, says Dr, Kegel, a dull, yellow green, and with dashes occasionally and spots 

 of red. The flesh is white, fine and juicy ; has scarcely any acidity, with a slight degree 

 of aftertaste, suggesting the taste of the strawberry ; an excellent autumn table ap- 

 ple, that keeps from September till the new year. This tree does not stand the 

 coldest winters very well. Dr. Kegel says this is the Himbeerapfel or Malinovskoe 

 of Mr Goegginger, of Riga.
