Flesh white, tender, and juicy. 



Flavor fine, sweet, and often rich. Ripens from November 

 to February, or later. 



This is a new and excellent winter sweet apple, a native of 

 Southern Ohio. 



31. AMERICAN GOLDEN RUSSET (Fig. 173). 



Tree erect and moderately thrifty ; young shoots drab color ; 

 bears fair and constant crops, and is well suited with high 

 culture. 



Fruit small, conical or roundish-ovate ; dull yellow, covered 

 with thin russet. 



Flesh yellowish, very tender and juicy, almost melting when 

 fully ripe. 



Flavor mild subacid, with a fine rich spiciness. Ripens 

 from November to February. 



The American Golden Russet is small, but of superior qual- 

 ity, and especially worthy of extensive garden culture. In 

 cold soils and localities it sometimes fails to ripen, and is 

 then inferior.
