 Dolgoi Squoznoi. Ibid, p. 116, No. 254. 



An excellent summer apple, ripe about the 

 beginning of August, among the earliest of the 

 varieties. It appears to be of Russian origin, having 

 been sent to the Horticultural Society by Mr. Mar- 

 tin Miller Call, of the Taurida Garden, under the 

 name of Dolgoi Squoznoi, two Russian words 

 signifying, dolgoi, long, and squoznoi, transparent. 



It was also received at the Chiswick Garden 

 from Mr. Dymond, nurseryman, of Exeter, with the 

 name here adopted. At the period of the year 

 when this matures, there is scarcely any apple 

 which possesses the same good qualities. But 

 after having been gathered a week or ten days, the 

 flesh becomes soft and mealy. 



In form and colour it is very like the Sieben- 

 schlafer Apple of Christ, but that variety does not 

 ripen till November : it is also closely allied to a 

 variety sold by Mr. Dymond, of Exeter, under the 

 name ofHutchins's Early Seedling if it be not the 

 very same.
