original package, and a loose Hagloe 

 Crab label being found, was supposed to 

 attach to the tree in question. 



It is now well known in Pennsylvania 



specimens. The outline round, some- 

 times a little irregular. Stem short; 

 the eye deeply seated. The flesh is 

 soft and woolly, as it is termed, which

Early Queen. (Fig. 7.) The ap- 

 ple here represented, has been known 

 for many years around Philadelphia by 

 the above name ; it is one of the earli- 

 est seen in our market, making its ap- 

 pearance early in July and continuing 

 throughout August. When ripened in 

 the sun it is nearly of a uniform aspect 

 — striped and clouded with red of darker 

 or lighter shades on a greenish-yellow 

 ground, the red frequently the prevail- 

 ing colour : others ripened in the shade 

 have but little red, the stripes more dis- 

 tinctly marked on a greenish ground, 

 thus presenting fruit from the same tree 



of very different appearance. The size 

 is in good specimens, above medium ; 

 outline rather flattened, and narrowing 

 towards the blossom end. Calyx quite 

 small, nearly closed and set in a shal- 

 low basin. Stem short, seldom rising 

 to the crown of the fruit. Flesh white, 

 with occasional pink streaks and clouds; 

 crisp, and when over ripe, mealy. 



Baldwin. Ken : Down. (Fig. 8.) 

 The Baldwin, partially known as the 

 Woodpecker, is nearly confined to New 

 England ; but ought to be an apple of 

 the world. It has few superiors, and is 

 1 above average quality in all respects.
