APPLES. 333 



Rambour Queen. Large, irregular oblate ; greenish yellow, splashed 

 with crimson ; cavity medium, stem medium, basin wide, irregu- 

 lar ; flesh white with greenish veinings, very juicy, sub-acid, 

 good. Late autumn. Fig. 436. Good for keeping in cold stor- 

 age. Russian. 



Rail's Genet.* (Rawle's Jenneting. Neverfail, Rockremain.) 

 Medium in size, roundish, approaching oblong or obtuse-conical, 

 often oblique ; color pale red, distinct stripes on light yellow 

 ground ; stalk half an inch long ; flesh nearly white, fine, mild, 

 sub-acid, fine texture, crisp, juicy. Growth slow ; a profuse 

 bearer, with a portion of the crop knotty or under size. Keeps 

 through spring. Highly esteemed in the Ohio valley; does not 

 succeed farther North. The blossoms open ten days later than 

 usual, thus sometimes escaping spring frosts ; hence the name 

 Neverfail. Hardy far West. Fig. 428. France. 



Recumbent. (Lieby.) Large, irregular, oblate; yellow splashed 

 red and crimson ; cavity deep, regular, basin wide ; skin astringent, 

 good for cooking. Fig. 431. Russian. 



Red Canada.* (Nonsuch. Old Nonsuch of Massachusetts. Richfield 

 Nonsuch of Ohio.) Medium in size, roundish-conical, regular; 

 nearly the whole surface covered with red, and interspersed with 

 large and rather indistinct whitish dots ; stalk about an inch long, in 

 a very wide and even cavity; basin nearly even, moderate; flesh 

 fine-grained, compact, with a rich, sub-acid, high and excellent 

 flavor. Keeps through winter. Shoots rather slender, leaves wavy. 

 Productive. Succeeds in New England, New York, and Ohio. 

 This is wholly distinct from the Nonsuch of England, to prevent 

 confusion with which the name Red Canada is preferred. One of 

 the finest table apples, often keeping late in spring. The slender 

 growth of the tree, the frequent scabbiness of the fruit, and its 

 moderate crops in some localities, are the chief drawbacks on its 

 value. Fig. 450. 



Red Winter Pearmain. (Red Lady Finger, Meigs, Red Fall Pippin, 

 and Red Vandevere of Tennessee.) Size medium, oblong conical ; 

 dark purplish red on yellow, with numerous whitish dots; stalk 

 short, cavity narrow ; basin small ; flesh whitish, very tender and 

 juicy, with a mild, slightly sub-acid, slightly aromatic flavor. 

 Mid-winter. Growth moderate, upright ; a regular bearer. 



Robey's Seedling. Large, roundish conic ; obscurely striped with 

 lively red; flesh yellowish, juicy, with a rich, high flavor. Early 

 winter. Succeeds in Middle and Western States. Tree vigorous 

 and productive. 



Rome Beauty.* Large, roundish, very slightly conical ; mostly 

 covered with bright red on pale yellow ground ; flesh tender, not 

 fine-grained, juicy, of good quality. Ripens early in winter. The 

 large size and beautiful appearance of this Ohio apple render it 

 popular as an orchard variety. Fig. 441. 



Royal Table. Medium, conical, ribbed, greenish yellow, red 

 stripes on yellow side; cavity wide, shallow; basin wide; flesh 

 greenish white, quality good. Early winter. Russian.
