APPENDIX. 127 



LUBSK QUEBN. (No. 444.) As hardy as Duchess and noted 

 for heavy and continuous bearing. Fruit large, smooth, with 

 varied shades of red and pink. Flesh fine grained, sub-acid and 

 very good for so large a fruit. This is placed with the summer 

 apples because it colors up early and ships well at an early date, 

 but it keeps well at the fruit stands and can be easily kept through 

 September. 



AUTUMN APPLES. 



ROSY REPKA. (No. 300. ) An iron-clad tree everywhere. Fruit 

 large, even sized, handsomely colored, sub-acid, and excellent in 

 quality. Will be a popular market apple. Season autumn, or 

 early winter on the north limit of its possible growth. 



HIBERNAL. (No. 378.) Hardier than Duchess and fuiiy equal 

 in bearing and perfection of tree on varied soils. Fruit large, even 

 sized, handsomely colored and of best quality for culinary use. 

 This will prove a popular market apple for kitchen use during the 

 fall and early winter. It has some value for dessert use when 

 fully matured and the skin, which has a crab-like flavor, is re- 

 moved. 



KEIV REINETTE. (No. 447.) Hardier than Duchess at the 

 North. Fruit large, smooth, yellow, with crimson splashes, and a 

 rich bloom. Valuable for all uses. Season, late fall and early 

 winter. 



GIPSY GIRL. (56 Vor.) A fine tree in nursery and orchard. 

 Fruit large, smooth and remarkably handsome. A famous train- 

 boy apple in East Europe. Will be prized over a large part of the 

 country. Season, late fall. 



MALLETT. (No. 980.) As imported by the Department of Ag- 

 riculture this has the name of White Pelikanoff. The fruit is not 

 white, but is much like Wealthy in size, shape, color and quality. 

 Its true name is Mallett. Though classed with the fall apples it is 

 a remarkable keeper after it becomes tender enough for dessert 

 use. As grown at the North, we have eaten the fruit in fine condi- 

 tion in March. 



LARGE ANIS. (No. 413 Department ) This was imported by 

 the Department of Agriculture under the name of Cross apple. It 

 is an iron-clad tree in all respects, a heavy and continuous bearer, 

 .\nd a valuable late fall and early winter apple of good size and ex- 

 cellent quality. 



ANTONOVKA. This is an iron-clad tree and an early and con- 

 tinuous bearer of large yellow apples that will take well in market 

 and prove valuable for home use. Its fault is tendency to blight 

 on black soils and in sheltered localities, but it is not more subject 

 to blight than the Yellow Transparent. Season, late fall and early 

 winter. 



APORT ORIENT. This is one of the most valuable varieties of 

 the Alexander family. Fruit very large, gorgeously colored, and 

 of excellent quality for an apple of its size.
