STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 385 



342. Schailottenlhaller Golba; — Charlottenthaller;— This is, perhaps, the 

 best of the family of which the Yellow, Green and White Transparents, and Red 

 Duck are members. Mr. Webster also places Sweet Pear and Moscow Pear in 

 the same group. In the opinion of Dr. Hoskins it is rather larger than the 

 Yellow Transparent, and it is thought by some to be a little earlier. Mr. Web- 

 ster says, its season commences and closes ten or twelve days earlier than Eed 

 Astrachan. Dr. Hoskins, however, declares that it is not a day earlier. 



343. Weinapfel Rother; — Red Wine; — This is much like Sops of Wine in 

 appearance, and very handsome. It is below medium in size, quite acid and 

 earlier than the Duchess, says Mr. Tuttle. Mr. Webster says, sharp, acid fruit, 

 like Red Astrachan; perhaps a seedling of it. 



350. Lapouch; — Burr; — A small or medium sized fiattish apple, yellowish, 

 white. A tart pie apple A hardy tree and a good and early bearer, says Mr. 

 Slas. No. 470 is the same name but whether like this or not, I cannot say. 



351. Plodowitka Caudkaja; — Prolific Sweeting; — A yellow apple of medium 

 size. The best of the sweet apples for market purposes, says Dr. Hoskins. Mr. 

 Webster says the tree is of the Tetofsky type, and very productive. An excel- 

 lent sweet apple, ripe in August and September. 



355. AportHerbst; — Autumn Orange; — Mr. Sias showed this in good con- 

 dition at the winter exhibition of the Minnesota Horticultural Society from the 

 16th to the 19th of Jannary last, and took second premium. Fruit small, ir- 

 regular in shape, dull, greenish yellow, not valuable, at least not on Hislop 

 Grab stock. The wrong translation of these names is much to be regretted. 



364. Beel Wochins; — White Wochins; Tree slow grower, an early and good 

 bearer, A smooth, handsome, sub-acid apple, ripe in September. Not equal 

 to Duchess for general culture, says Mr. Webster. 



36s. Mirone Sacharni; — Sugar Barbel; — Mr. Webster says a good bearer, of 

 medium sized,. striped, sweet apples, for general purposes, not equal in value to 

 Prolific Sweeting, otherwise of value. Dr. Hoskins says, a brilliant red, nice 

 sweet apple, but too small for practical value, it will not average one-fourth the 

 size of the Prolific Sweeting. Season, September. 



Dr. Kegel describes this as an apple of medium size, or below. A yellowish green or 

 yellow with some dingy red in splashes; sometimes with a good deal of red on the 

 sunny side. The flesh is tender, white, agreeable and very sweet, and with an agreeable 

 aftertaste. The tree stands the coldest winters at St. Petersburg, and hence is a favoritet 

 early apple and brings a good price. It ripens in August and keeps till December. I 

 may be said to be good for eating, though not strictly a dessert fruit. 



372. Petrowskoe; — St. Peter's;— Dr. Hjskius has characterized this as the 

 Russian " Early Joe." He considers it better than Switzer and the best of the 

 Russian dessert apples of its season, which is during August and September. Mr» 

 Webster says: a good bearer of small but handsome fruit, striped with red, fine 

 in grain, of fine flavor for a Russian; better perhaps than Switzer, but does not 

 carry as well. I also saw this fruiting at Mr. Underwood's. 



374. Wislowchoe; — Pendent Ear; — Resembles Duchess in size and oblor and 

 about as prolific, but too astringent. Sias says it is the same as 240. 



378. Orsimui;— Hibernal; — Mr. Tuttle especially calls attention to this as 

 worthy of trial in the colder climates. It is an early and good bearer, of large 

 and showy apples, blushed with red, and with large light dots. A good cook- 

 ing apple, said to keep well till December. Mr. OUver Gibbs thinks highly of 

 trees said to be it, which he has found bearing in Carver county .
