83. CATSHEAD. Coxe. Lind.

84. CALVILLE, WHITE WINTER. Lind. 



Calville Blanche d'Hiver. Thomp. O. Duh. Noisette. 

 White Calville. Coxe. 



The White Winter Calville is a celebrated old French sauce 

 and cooking apple ; but like most others of its class, is not 

 worthy of cultivation here. 



Fruit large, rather flat, with the broad uneven ribs on its sides 

 which characterize Calville apples. Skin smooth, pale greenish 

 yellow, becoming when fully ripe, yellow, with a faint blush on 

 one side. Calyx small, deeply set in an angular irregular basin. 

 Stalk three fourths of an inch long, slender, deeply planted. 

 Flesh white, large grained, tender and light, with a pleasant, 

 third rate flavour ; juice scarcely acid. A strong growing tree, 

 and a good bearer. November to February. 



85. CALVILLE, RED WINTER. Lind. 



Calville Rouge d'Hiver. Thomp. Noisette. 

 Calville Rouge. O. Duh. 

 Red Calville. Coxe. 



The Red Winter Calville is another old French variety of the 

 same general character as the foregoing good for culinary use, 

 but of very indifferent flavour.

 stem, and narrowing to the eye. Stalk stout, of medium length, 

 deeply planted. Calyx in a large deep basin. Skin on the 

 shaded side pale red, on the sunny side dark red, covered with 

 bloom. Flesh tender, and flavour a mild sub-acid. No-
