 AMERICAN FALL. 



REINETTE BLANCHE D'ESPAGNE. 



D'EspAGNE, DE RATEAU, COBBETT'S FALL, CONCOMBRE AN- 



CIEN. According to Pom. Mag. 



This is said to be the national apple of Spain, there 

 called Camuesar. The tree is an abundant bearer; the 

 fruit one of the finest and most beautiful of its season ; it 

 is very large, roundish oblong, ribbed at its sides ; the stalk 

 very short ; the skin smooth, of a yellowish color, but 

 brownish red next the sun ; the flesh yellowish, crisp, ten-

 pens in October, and keeps till winter.

 to have originated.
