96 NEW AMERICAN ORCHARDIST. 



SECTION IV. 



FOREIGN CIDER APPLES DESERVING TRIAL IN THE 

 UNITED STATES. 



THESE WOULD BE LIKELY TO ANSWER WELL IN CANADA. 



177. FOXLEY. Lindley. 



Raised by Mr. Knight from the Siberian Crab and 

 Golden Pippin. A very small apple, growing in clusters, 

 of a bright, gold color. Specific gravity of its juice, 

 1.080. 



178. HAGLOE CRAB. 



The most famous cider in the world was formerly 

 made from this fruit in England. An old fruit; small, ill 

 shaped;, yellow in the shade, russety red next the sun. 

 Specific gravity of the juice, 1.081. This fruit has been 

 many years in the United States quite long enough 

 for trial. 



179. SIBERIAN BITTER SWEET. Lindley. 

 Raised by Mr. Knight from the Siberian Crab and 



Golden Harvey ; and was sent by Mr. Knight to the Hon. 

 John Lowell. It is small, not much larger than the Sibe- 

 rian Crab, of a yellow color, with a blush next the sun. It 

 is supposed to contain a larger proportion of saccharine 

 matter than any other apple known. It does not abound 

 in juice, and it is supposed would be a most valuable va- 

 riety to mix with the more austere sorts. The trees are 

 most abundant bearers. 



180. SIBERIAN HARVEY. Lindley. 



A small, globular fruit, raised by Mr. Knight from the 

 Siberian Crab and Golden Harvey ; of a bright gold 

 color, stained with deep red next the sun ; the fruit grows 

 in clusters on slender branches ; the juice exceeding 

 sweet. Ripe the middle of October. Specific gravity of its 

 juice, 1.091. 



See DOWNTON GOLDEN PIPPIN, GRANGE, and ORANGE 

 PIPPIN, which are all cider fruits.
