THE SAINT JULIAN APPLE. 



Concombre des Chartreux. Hort. Cat. no. 195. 

 Seigneur d'Orsay. lb. no. 1034. 

 Pomme de Saint Julien. lb. no. 1015. 



This sort was received by the Horticultural 

 Society under the above names, from the Luxem- 

 bourg Garden, at Paris. Of the Concombre des 

 Chartreux, and Seigneur d'Orsay, no account has 

 been found. If the Concombre des Chartreux be 

 the same sort as the Pomme Concombre described in 

 Noisette's Manuel, p. 545, as being " trh allonge," 

 that name must be misapplied to this sort. Du- 

 hamel mentions, tome i. p. 292, that they have an 

 Apple in Normandy which they call Pomme de 

 Jidien, ou de Saint Julien, bearing much resemblance 

 to the Vrai T>ra'p d'Or. Probably, this may be the 

 sort he alludes to ; but he does not give a full 

 description of it. Manger includes the Drap d'Or, 

 Reinette Drap d'Or, Pomme de Caract^re, of Knoop ; 

 the Drap d'Or, Pomme de St. Julien, ou Pomme de 

 .Julien en Normandie, of Duhamel ; and the Em- 

 broidered Apple of Miller, as synonymous. In this, 

 however, he is corrected by Sickler, as far as 

 relates to Knoop's and Duhamel's sorts ; and the 

 Embroidered Apple, of Miller, is also different from 

 either. Much confusion has existed amongst the 

 sorts designated by the above names. The Em-
