21. TETOFSKY. Thomp. 



The Tetofsky is a Russian summer apple newly introduced; 

 which promises well. Fruit of medium size, roundish oblong, 

 sometimes nearly round. Skin smooth, with a yellow ground 

 handsomely striped with red, and, like most apples of that coun- 

 try, covered with a whitish bloom, under which is a shining skin. 

 The flesh is white and juicy with a sprightly and agreeable 

 flavour. August.

Glace deZelande, ) 



A nearly white, semi-transparent, Russian apple, which bears 

 freely and ripens about the tenth of August ; but in this country
