The accompanying plate shows the whole fruit of Rambo. The 

 section is shown on the same plate as that which shows the whole 

 fruit of Walbridge. 



This fruit belongs in the same group as the Domine. Downing 

 states 1 that " Domine so much resembles the Rambo externally, 

 that the two are often confounded together, and the outline of the 

 latter fruit may be taken as nearly a facsimile of this. The Domine 

 is, however, of a livelier color, and the flavor and season of the two 

 fruits are very distinct, the Rambo being rather a high-flavored 

 early winter or autumn apple, while the Domine is a sprightly, 

 juicy, long-keeping winter fruit." Rambo when well grow r n is an 

 apple of excellent quality but in this state it does not take first rank 

 for any purpose. It is less attractive in size and color and less 

 desirable for market than Baldwin or Northern Spy. For culinary
