WINTER APPLES. 97 



Green Seek-no-further just described. Fruit large, pretty regu- 

 larly round. Skin pale, or dull red over a pale clouded green 

 round the red sprinkled with obscure russety yellow dots, 

 talk very slender, three-fourths of an inch long, inserted in an 

 even cavity. Calyx closed, or with a few reflexed segments, 

 and set in an even basin of moderate depth. Flesh white, fine 

 grained, tender, with a rich, pearmain flavour. A first rate 

 fruit. October to February. 



69. STROAT. Floy. Ken. 

 Straat. Tliomp. 



An apple in high esteem among the descendants of the Dutch 

 settlers on the North River, the original tree of which is said 

 to have grown in a street (stroat, Dutch) of Albany. It is well 

 known at Kingston, N. Y. 



Fruit above the middle size, regularly formed, roundish, 

 oblong, and tapering a little to the eye. Skin smooth, yellowish 

 green. Stem short, pretty stout, and planted in a rather shallow 

 cavity. Flesh yellow, very tender, with an excellent, rich, 

 brisk flavour. In eating from September to December. 



70. WORMSLEY PIPPIN. Thomp. Lind. P. Mag. 

 Knight's Codlin. 



A well-flavoured autumnal fruit, from the English Gardens, 

 ripening the last of August and beginning of September. 



Fruit middle-sized, roundish, tapering a little towards the eye, 

 which is deeply sunk, and the basin slightly plaited. Skin 

 pale green, or straw colour, darker next the sun, and sprinkled 

 with dark specks. Stalk deeply planted, nearly an inch long. 

 Flesh white, crisp, firm, with a rich high flavoured juice. This 

 is considered, abroad, one of the richest flavoured apples, but it 

 appears to us to have been over-praised, being rather too firm 

 and too acid.
