 sandy soils, for which it is peculiarly adapted.

 sassafras. Use baking, market and dessert. Season, 

 August and early September. 



(I have not seen this tree except in northeastern 

 Iowa, near Delhi, where it was in perfection in the 

 almost clear sands of that locality. It is believed 

 that for such soils, where other varieties so fre- 

 quently fail, it will be valuable for a sweet apple.) 



Hagloe. (Russian Hagloe.} This tree was for 

 some years sent cut by some nurserymen as the 

 Duchess of Oldenburg, which it resembles in leaf 

 and color of wood, aside from this it is entirely 

 distinct. It is evidently of Russian origin. Tree 

 strong, but irregular grower; limbs and shoots very- 

 strong and heavy, shoots blunt. In orchard it 

 forms a spreading, flat-topped tree. Hardiness 

 3 or better. Fruit much like Duchess, but 

 better, less acid. Use kitchen and market. For 

 cooking it is good to very good. Season, August. 



Keswick Codlin. Origin England. Tree good, 

 but rather irregular grower, brown shoots that 

 diverge in a peculiar recurved manner. Hardiness 

 4, when established in orchard 3 or better. 

 Fruit medium to large, ovate often ribbed, clear 

 pale yellow. Quality very good, especially for 

 cooking. Flesh fine grained and juicy. Is a good 

 and productive market variety.
