106 APPLES. 



even shallow basin. Stalk short, rather slender. Flesh yellow, 

 crisp, and juicy, with a high, poignant flavour. October to 

 February. 



The Court of Wyck is an exceedingly hardy tree, and is, 

 therefore, well adapted for Canada or Maine. 



90. CRANBERRY PIPPIN. 



This strikingly beautiful apple we found growing on a farm 

 near Hudson, N. Y. It is only second rate in point of flavour 

 about equal to the Hawthornden but it is an excellent cooking 

 apple, and its beautiful appearance and great productiveness, 

 will, we think, render it a popular variety. It is not unlike in 

 appearance a very handsome specimen of the Maiden's Blush, 

 and it comes into use just as that sort goes out. 



Fruit above medium size, very regularly formed, a little flat- 

 tened. Skin very smooth, of a fine clear yellow in the shade, 

 with a bright scarlet cheek. Stalk nearly three fourths of an 

 inch long, slender, planted in a very even and moderately deep 

 cavity. Calyx rather small, set in a deep, regular basin. Flesh 

 white, moderately juicy, with a mild, sub-acid flavour. No- 

 vember to February. 



91. DETROIT.

Bl?lk Detroit. 



Black Apple. ) 



Large Black. \ofsome. 



Crimson Pippin. ) 



This fruit, commonly known in Western New- York and 

 Michigan as the Detroit, is supposed to have been brought to 

 the neighbourhood of Detroit by early French settlers, and 

 thence disseminated. There is little doubt that, like many 

 other varieties grown at the west, and supposed to be indigenous 

 there, this will yet prove to be some old variety. It is a very 

 good fruit, of striking appearance. 



There is another apple incorrectly called Detroit, or White 

 Detroit, at Cincinnati, which is synonymous with the White 

 Belle-Fleur. [See the latter.] 



Fruit of medium or rather large size, roundish, somewhat 

 flattened, and pretty regular. Stalk three-fourths of an inch 

 long, planted in a deep cavity. Skin pretty thick, smooth and 

 glossy, bright crimson at first, but becoming dark blackish pur- 

 ple at maturity, somewhat dotted and marbled with specks of 

 fawn colour on the sunny side. Calyx closed, set in a rather 

 deep, plaited basin. Flesh white, (sometimes stained with red 

 to the core in exposed specimens,) crisp, juicy ; of agreeable, 

 sprightly, sub-acid flavour. October to February.
