 Sam's Crab. 



An apple introduced into our orchards from the garden of the 

 London Horticultural Society, but which does not compare fa- 

 vourably with many native sorts of this season. 



Fruit rather below medium size, oval, rather flattened. Stalk 

 short, deeply inserted. Eye small, with a short erect calyx. 

 Skin greenish yellow, streaked with pale brownish red, with a 

 few streaks of bright red. Flesh firm, yellow, slightly perfumed, 

 sub-acid. The tree is a great bearer. August and September. 



57. MAIDEN'S BLUSH. Coxe. Thomp. 



A remarkably beautiful apple, a native of New-Jersey, and 

 first described by Coxe. It begins to ripen about the 20th of 

 August, and continues until the last of October. It has all the 

 beauty of colour of the pretty little Lady Apple, and is much 

 cultivated and admired, both for the table and for cooking. It 

 is also very highly esteemed for drying. 



Fruit medium sized, flat, and quite smooth and fair. Skin 



Fig. 3f>. Maiden's Blush.
