248 DESCRIPTION OF APPLES AND PEARS. 



is proving to be an early and continuous bearer, 

 and promises to be very valuable. Fruit, medium 

 to large, oblate, yellow, with splashes and stripes 

 of red and crimson. Flesh, fine grained, sub-acid, 

 nearly best in quality. 



Regel. (No. 169.) * * * This was received 

 by the College from Dr. Regel, of St. Petersburg, 

 under the name of Green Sweet. But a mistake

Zuzoffs Winter. (No. 585.) * * In the

 of blossoming in the spring. Fruit large to very 

 large, beautifully colored, fine grained, tender,

 sylvanis. It is now a favorite variety in Eastern 

 France. The tree seems to be as hardy as Wealthy, 

 and is an early and continuous bearer. Fruit
