356 THE PEAK. 



BLOODGOOD. 



American. From Flushing, L. I. It has not, as grown West, merited 

 its eastern reputation. The tree is a moderate grower, with reddish 

 brown, short-jointed wood; a regular bearer. We think it requires a 

 rich, deep, warm soil to produce good-flavored fruit. Fruit medium, or 

 below, ovate obovate, yellow, with russet marblings and dots ; calyx, 

 open; stem, fleshy at base; core, small ; flesh, yellowish white, melting, 

 &quot; very good.&quot; Early August. 



BORDENAVE. 



Smith s Bordenave. 



The original name lost, and this given to it by Alfred Smith, Esq., of 

 Hartford, Connecticut, who imported it from France. Fruit medium, 

 acute pyriform, dull greenish russet; flesh juicy, buttery, sprightly, &quot; very 

 good.&quot; September.

 tuse pyriform, light yellow and pale red, and somewhat russeted ; stem 

 rather short, uneven, calyx partly closed, short segments; core large; 

 flesh yellowish white, melting, juicy, sugary, &quot;very good.&quot; September.

 rowed ; core large ; flesh white, coarse, melting, juicy, a little gritty, &quot;very

 very desirable variety ; tree moderate grower, succeeding finely on quince, 

 very productive ; fruit medium, oblong oval, brownish yellow, with smooth
