BOOK OF FRUITS. 59 



No. 41. Baldwin. 



This fine apple, so well known in New 

 England, hardly needs a description. It is of 

 medium size ; the form round, the skin mostly 

 of a brilliant red, with some indistinct yellow 

 streaks ; in some- situations a large proportion 

 of yellow ; the flesh is very fine, crisp, juicy 

 and rich ; it bears abundantly every other 

 year ; keeps well through the winter, and 

 although so common, it will bear comparison 

 with the finest of the new varieties. 



No. 42. Lady Apple. 



The size is small, the form flat, the skin at 

 maturity is a bright yellow, with a brilliant 

 red cheek, and very smooth ; the flesh white, 

 breaking, mild and agreeable, but not high 

 flavoured. The beautiful appearance of this 

 little apple renders it worthy of cultivation. 

 The tree is of more upright growth than any 

 other apple tree in the orchard ; it grows to a 

 large size before it produces fruit; it then 

 bears well, and is in use from January till 

 March.
