AUTUMN APPLES. 89 



51. LYSCOM. Man. Ken. 

 Osgood's Favourite. 



Another Massachusetts variety of merit. Fruit large, round ; 

 skin greenish yellow, with a few broken stripes or splashes of 

 red. Stalk short, planted in a deep, round, even cavity. Calyx 

 small, in a very narrow, plaited basin. Flesh fine grained, and 

 exceedingly mild and agreeable in flavour. A large, fine fruit, 

 which is worthy of general cultivation. In use from September 

 to November. 



52. LYMAN'S PUMPKIN SWEET. Ken. 



A very large fair sweet apple which we received from Mr. S. 

 Lyman, of Manchester, Conn. It is, perhaps, inferiour to the 

 Jersey Sweet or the Summer Sweet Paradise for the table, but 

 it is a very valuable apple for baking, and deserves a place on 

 this account in every orchard. The original tree of this sort, is 

 growing in Mr. Ly man's orchard. 



Fig. 34. Lyman 1 s Pumpkin Sweet. 



Fruit very large, roundish, more or less furrowed or ribbed, 

 especially near the stalk. Skin smooth, pale green, with ob- 

 scure whitish streaks near the stalk, and numerous white dots 

 near the eye, sometimes becoming a little yellow next the sun.
