Outline and Description of two fins Aiiliimn Apples. 



DvER, (Fig. 27.) — Tliis is a native 

 of Rhode Island — said to liave been 

 brought into notice by tiie Messrs. 

 Dyek, Nurserymen of Cranston. — 



She, large ; the figure given here 

 is from a medium sized specimen. — 

 Form, roundish or globular, some- 

 times slightly ribbed. iSkin, pale 

 yellow, fair and smooth. Calyx, 

 small, closed, in a shallow basin, 

 generally somewhat plaited and une- 

 ven. Sta/k, about an inch long, pro- 

 jecting beyond the surface of the I 

 fruit, rather slender, inserted in a| 

 smooth cavity. Flesh, white, crisp, 

 and abounding with a sprightly, rich 

 sub-acid juice. As an eating apple 

 we think this scarcely surpassed by 

 any other of its season. 



The tree has a fine, upright habit, 

 grows vigorously, and we think, from 

 what we have seen of it, is very pro- 

 ductive. We have a tree in our 



grounds, sent us by Mr. Kenrick _Dyer Aiiph. (Fig. ^7.) 



six years ago. It bore last season a few, and the present season a fine crop. It is noticed 

 in the "Fruit and Fruit Trees of America," page 83. Mr. Downing says that Mr. Kenrick 

 has confounded this with the ^' Pomme RoyaV of Connecticut, which is a distinct winter 

 variety. Ripe September and October. 



St. Lawrence, {Fi^. 28.) — 

 This Apple was brought to this 

 county, a number of years ago, 

 from Montreal ; of its origin, 

 or how it came there, we know 

 nothing. 



In beauty of appearance, as 

 well as in quality, we think it 

 unsurpassed by any of its sea- 

 son. It succeeds admirably in 

 this section, and will, we have 

 no doubt, in every part of the 

 country. It begins, now, to 

 be pretty widely disseminated 

 in our orchards. 



Size, medium to large. — 

 Form, roundish, regular, a lit- 

 tle flattened at both ends. — 

 Skill, smooth, covered with 

 stripes and stains of red and 



crimson. Stem, half an inch St. Lawrence Apple. (Fic '^8.) 



long or over, inserted in a deep, smooth cavity. Eye, small, closed, in a deep, smooth basin. 

 The streaks of red run into the cavities of the stem and eye, like regular delicate penciling. 

 Flesh, white, stained slightly with red, very tender and juicy, melting in the mouth. Flavor 

 delicious ; sub-acid. September to October. 



Northern Spy Apple. — In reply to numerous inquiries as to where this apple can be procured, 

 we would say that in this city they can be had of J. H. Watts, Esq., who has purchased most of 

 the crop of Mr. Hand, of Mendon. They have been uncommonly fine this season, and Mr. W. 

 informs us he has already sold about 40 barrels, some to go to Europe, and others to various 

 parts of this country. His price is $2 50 per barrel. If any one has doubts about the surpassing 

 excellence of this fruit, let them procure a few to eat during the coming winter or next spring.
