70 NEW AMERICAN ORCHARDIST. 



51. *YELLOW INGESTRIE. 



The tree bears early and abundantly. The fruit is 

 small, round, of a bright gold color, with pearly specks ; 

 flesh yellowish white, tender, delicate, juicy, rich, and 

 high-flavored. September and October. Raised by Mr. 

 Knight. An eminently beautiful apple, which, as Judge 

 Buel observes, bids fair to rival the Lady apple as a fashion- 

 able fruit. 



52. SWEET RUSSET. 



Large and covered with russet; exceedingly rich and 

 sweet ; a very superior fruit, ripening in October. A 

 variety introduced to notice by Mr. Lyman, of Mansfield, 

 Conn. 



53. *YORK RUSSETING. 



. Remarkably large, conically formed, and swollen to- 

 wards the base ; of a yellow color, russeted ; the flesh 

 breaking, juicy, subacid, and good. Valuable, as a market 

 fruit, for cooking and other purposes. October to De- 

 cember. The tree grows strong. The leaves are large. 



SECTION III. 



WINTER FRUIT. 



54. AMERICAN GOLDEN PIPPIN. Judge Buel 

 A large, yellow, winter fruit, of an agreeable flavor, and 



highly prized. It has but recently come into notice, but 

 promises to become a standard fruit. 



55. *^ESOPUS SPITZENBERG. 



Large, very beautiful, and excellent. The tree grows 

 upright ; the young wood is slender and dark. It is very 

 productive. The fruit is oblong, covered with deep scar- 

 let, deepening to dark crimson next the sun; the flesh 

 juicy, of a rich, pleasant acid, and high flavor. A celebra- 

 ted fruit. Season, December to March. It originated at 

 New York. The Flushing Spitzenberg differs from this 

 in being round or flat, and the young wood strong and 

 red and the tree a bad bearer.
