 photo-engraving. It is seen in the case of Jones seedling, Fig. 8, as-

 fruits which are shown in the accompanying text. 



Bundles of fibres or veins called fibrovascular bundles enter the fruit 

 through the stem. Some of them pass directly through the core along

DELIMIT THE CORE FROM THE FLESH, Fics. 4 AND 6. WHEN THE CORE, AS 

 OUTLINED BY THE CORE LINES, is REMOVED A RATHER GLOBULAR CAVITY is 

 MADE AS SHOWN IN FIGS. 5 AND 7. FIG. 5 SHOWS PLAINLY A LONGITUDINAL 

 SECTION OF THE CYLINDRICAL CALYX TUBE WHICH EXTENDS FROM THE CORE 

 TO THE CALYX. IN FIG. 7 THE CORE CAVITY is SEEN FROM A POINT PERPEN-

 of the pistils. See plates of Mclntosh and Canada Baldwin. Between 

 the seed cavities and the base of the stem other lines of fibrovascular 

 bundles lead off from the stem, inclose a portion of the flesh varying in 

 different varieties from turbinate, as in Canada Reinette, to nearly glob-
