108 APPLES. 



Rambo,) may be taken as nearly a fac-simile of this. Th* 

 Domine is, however, of a livelier colour, and the flavour and 

 season of the two fruits are very distinct, the Rambo being 

 rather a high flavoured early winter or autumn apple, while the 

 Domine is a sprightly, juicy, long keeping winter fruit. 



Fruit of medium size, flat. Skin lively greenish-yellow in 

 the shade, with stripes and splashes of bright red in the sun, 

 and pretty large russet specks. Stalk long and slender, planted 

 in a wide cavity and inclining to one side. Calyx small, in a 

 broad basin moderately sunk. Flesh white, exceedingly tender 

 and juicy, with a sprightly pleasant, though not high flavour. 

 Young wood of a smooth, lively, light brown, and the trees are 

 the most rapid growers and prodigious bearers that we know 

 the branches being literally weighed down by the rope-like 

 clusters of fruit. 



The Domine does not appear to be described by any foreign 

 author. Coxe says that he received it from England, but the 

 apple he describes and figures does not appear to be ours, and 

 we have never met with it in any collection here. It is highly 

 probable that this is a native fruit. It is excellent from De- 

 cember till April. 



95. DANVER'S WINTER SWEET. Man. Ken. 

 Epse's Sweet. 



In Massachusetts, from a town in which this variety takes its 

 name, it has been for a long time one of the best market apples 

 but we think it inferiour to the Ladies' Sweeting. It is an 

 abundant bearer, and a very rapid tree in its growth. 



Fruit of medium size, roundish-oblong. Skin smooth, dull 

 yellow, with an orange blush. Stalk slender, inclining to one 

 side. Calyx set in a smooth, narrow basin. Flesh yellow, firm, 

 sweet, and rich. It bakes well, and is fit for use the whole 

 winter, and often till April. 



96. DE SAINT JULIEN. Thomp. 



Seigneur d'Orsay. 

 Saint Julian. P. Mag. 



This French apple of considerable reputation has not yet 

 borne with us, and we therefore copy Mr. Thompson's descrip- 

 tion in the Pomological Magazine, vol. iii. p. 165. 



" Fruit large, roundish, slightly and obtusely angular on the 

 sides. Eye in a moderate sized cavity, surrounded with slight 

 plaits. Stalk slender, about an inch in length, inserted very 

 shallow. Skin a little rough, with scars of gray russet, beneath 

 which it is remarkably, though somewhat obscurely, striped
