GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF POMOLOGY. . 331 



Tissue, web or fabric, or the organic structure or composition of bodies. 



Tomentose, covered with matted, woolly hairs ; more matted than is expressed 

 by the word Pubescent. 



Transverse Section of an apple is made by cutting the specimen into two parts 

 at nearly a right angle to the axis. 



Truncate, or Truncated, having the extremity cut off or lopped, or one corner 

 bevelled off. 



Tunicated, covered with more or less membranes or coats, like the concentric 

 coats of an onion. 



Variety, or Varieties, properly signifies the difference between two individuals of 

 the same species. In a loose way of talking, people speak of "different kinds" 

 of apples, as the Fameuse, Jonathan, Talman's Sweeting, etc., which are varieties 

 not kinds. Kind signifies genus not variety. Hence, in order to speak or write 

 with scientific correctness, we should allude to apples and pears bearing different 

 names as varieties. 



Vertically, perpendicularly, or nearly so. 



Villose, with soft, long, shaggy hairs. 



Villose-tomentose is a compound term employed to describe the calyx and pedicel 

 of the apple, signifying that such parts are covered with long, shaggy, soft, wool- 

 ly, and matted hairs. 



Worked on. When a cion or bud is inserted and continues to grow on a stock, 

 the former is said to be " worked on the stock."
