PRINCIPAL FORMS OF APPLES. 



Round or Roundish. When the outline is round, or nearly so, the 

 length being about equal to the breadth. 



Flat or Oblate. When the ends are much compressed, the width 

 being considerably greater than the length. 



Conical. In the form of a cone, tapering from the base to the eye. 



Ovate or Egg-shaped. When the form is somewhat similar to an 



egg- 



Ribbed. When there are ridges running from the stalk to the eye. 



In addition to these main forms there are numerous modifications of 

 each, and sometimes it is difficult to find any single term that will give 

 an exact description of the shape of an Apple. To some extent, how- 

 ever, this difficulty is surmounted by the use of such compound terms 

 as roundish-conical, roundish-oblong, and others. Certain peculiarities 

 of form are also described as angular and one-sided.
