rip9, red, high finished, good and apparently a keeper. It is undoubtedly the Red 

 Anis." The summer heat ofsouthern and central Minnesota in Lat. 44 and 45 is no 

 ■doubt much greater than that of the Upper Volga from Lat. 52 to above 55 and 

 we may expect to find the fruit of that region proportionately earlier in its season 

 of ripening. [This apple failed to keep. It grew suddenly mushy in December, 

 but possibly owing- to some peculiarity of the soil or season, or from its being 

 grown on an uncongenial crab stock.] 



Dr. Kegel speaks of the Skrischapfel as an excellent yellowish green fruit that 

 keeps till the following summer, and says that the tree endures the coldest 

 ■winters at St. Petersburg, and I must say that the colored plate of it in Dr. 

 Kegel's book is very like the Skrischapfel at Mr- Underwood's. Mr. Schroeder, 

 Moscow, gives a like description of Skrischapfel, but what we saw in Kussia 

 seemed a more solid, weighty, apple than that growing at Mr. Underwood's. 

 429, Bosklonowka; BosklonotF; — Sweet, bitter and worthless. (Webster.) 

 433. Orlowskoe; Orloff; — Mr. Tuttle says this is White Astrachan That re- 

 ceived from EUwanger & Barry, fruited by myself and Mr. K. W. Shepherd of 

 Como, Quebec, seemed to be White Astrachan. EUwanger <fe Barry received 

 from Thomas Rivers, of England. 

 437. Sachoiswan; Saxonian; — Striped on yellow ground. Season, late fall_ 

 439. Krimskaja Beel; White Krim; — This is Duchess — says Mr. Tuttle. 

 441. Grimuschka; Rattling; — One specimen I saw at Mr. Underwood's. A 

 large brownish red fruit. 



444. Reinette Liubski; Lubsk Queen; — A very beautiful lifjle sweet apple of 

 no value, says, Mr. Webster. Mr. Tuttle says, although reported from the east 

 as sweet, he finds it sub-acid. He adds further, that it is a very good fall apple 

 about the size of Autumn Strawberry. 



448. Kardinal; Cardinal; — That which I saw at Mr. Underwood's was small, 

 striped, and of fine flavor. Dr. Hoskins describes it as a red cheeked apple, on 

 •dull, whitish green ground, — but he received his from D. W. Adams, of Waukon, 

 Iowa. 



450. Beel Krasawiza; Handsome White; — An apple of white Calville form 

 and size, acid,^crude and unripe, as I saw it in the orchard of Mr. Spaulding, at 

 Minneapolis. 



451. Warschtapel; Wartztappel; — At Mr. Underwood's. An apple of full, 

 medium size, green with some faint red, very ribbed and wrinkled. 



453. Arkad Krasiwai; Beautiful Arcade; — A hard white apple, somewhat 

 juicy, sweet and with some flavor, which Mr. Tuttle thinks very favorably of. 



455. Riabinouka; Berry Aapple; — The Riabinouka as grown by Dr. Hoskins 

 was received from D. W. Adams, Waupon, Iowa. An apple very, closely 

 resembling Alexander, though Dr. Hoskins and others agree that they are not 

 alike. Yet Dr. Hoskins says, there is no use in growing both; he finds the tree 

 not perfectly hardy. 



457. Klinewskoe; Klineff; — Mr. Tuttle says, fruit of medium size, yellow 

 with red cheek. Season, fall. 



458. Scholtinaliv; Yellow Juice; — Dr. Regel says this grows in the gardens 

 of St. Petersburg, Novgorod and the Coast Provinces, and is often mistaken for 

 White iSTaliv. It is quite suited to these climates and bears lots of fruit each 

 year. It ripens in September, and keeps till November.
