Dr. Regel speaks of this as grown at Novgorod and to the south of Moscow. A green 

 and afterwardsja yellowish green fruit dull red in the sun. Flesh white, juicy and 

 agreeably sour, with slight aftertaste. Ripe in October and keeps all winter. It stood 

 the severest winters until 18G6, when young trees suffered. This tree will not endure 

 30 Raiiniur— that is SoJ below zero Fahr. This apple may have taken its name from the 

 village of Roschdestvenskago. 



490. Glimzowoe;— Clay; — Mr. Spaulding says like Duchess, in tree and fruit> 

 but it seems finer in grain, is less sharply acid, and a month later in season. 



502. Russische Rambour Reinette; — Russian Rambour Queen; — Mr. Tuttle 

 says in form and color like Rhode Island Greening, but larger. Quality good. 

 Season early winter. 



544. Lapouche Naliw; Juicy Burr; — At Mr. Underwood's, a large striped 

 apple like Duchess. 



545. Borowinka Lugouaja; Meadows Mushroom ;— Large, aromatic, and good, 

 says Mr. Saunders at Washington. 



651. Arbusowskoe; Water Melon; — Mr Sias says: a fruit nearly as large as 

 the Duchess, and looks like it; fair m quality, but so {far, a shy bearer. The 

 specimen I tasted was woody. Mr. Tuttle says, fruit large, yellow with red cheek, 

 mild, sub-acid. Season, late fall. 



Dr. Kegel quotes the opinions of Mr. Miller, to show, that this apple has been grown at 

 Moseow, and southwards, and has prob.ably been named after Mr. Arbusov, a naerehant- 

 It is a large oblong apple, about the largest pictured in Dr. Regel's book. The skin is 

 green and afterwards a yellow green, the largest part of the fruit being covered with a dull 

 red, with darker mai-blings. The flesh is greenisli white, and of an agreeable sour taste. 

 A large, fine looking, dessert and Cooking apple, which ripens in September and keeps 

 till December. It has stood the test of hardiness very well with Dr. Kegel. Only old trees 

 suffered during the very severe winter of 18G6-7. 



56 J. Krimskoo Nalivnoe; Juicy Krinitartar; — Mr. Tuttle says: a large, yel- 

 low, mild, sub-acid, fall appll of good quality. 



568. Melonenapfel ; Melon apple; — Mr. Saunders says, a fruit of good flavor 

 somewhat tough in flesh, on August 16th. Judging by the outline it seems to 

 be an apple of good size. 



57S. Borsdorfer Leipziger; Leipzig Borsdorf ; — Mr. Sias says, one of the best 

 in quality of the Russian apples, and one of the best keepers. It would seem 

 however, that it is a conic apple, of no special beauty. The tree is hardy and a 

 good bearer. 



579. Tierlandischer Sommer; — Summer Lowland. — Mr. Tuttle says this re- 

 sembles Duchess in appearance, but is of excellent quality, A very pleasant 

 sub-acid. It is later in ripening, and should have been named Autumn 

 Lowland. Mr. Tuttle speaks of the tree as very hardy and satisfactory. 



580. Tierlandischer Winter, — Winter Lowland. — In Mr.Sias' orchard, this is a 

 small flat apple, striped with bright red, white in flesh, j quite good and prob- 

 ably a good keeper. 



Erdbeerapfel. — Red Calville. — A hardy tree and an enormous bearer; fruit 

 red, acid and high flavored, but rather small. Its lack of size prevents its be- 

 ing valuable. — Webster. Why the word Erdbeerapfel or Strawberry apple 

 should have been translated Red Calville, it is difficult to say. 



585. Zusow's Winterapfel. — Zusoff"s Winter. — Mr. Tuttle tells me that he 

 has two varieties under this name; one a small, bright red, fall apple, the other 

 larger and a better keeper. He would not recommend them without further 

 trial. 



587. Englischer Pepping; English|Pippin;— (See 161 — Longfield.)
