146 THE APPLE. 



GOLDEN SWEET. 



Orange Sweeting, or 

 Golden Sweet. 



A celebrated Connecticut fruit sent us by Mr. Lyman, of that 

 state. Fruit above the medium size, roundish, scarcely flattened, 

 fair, and well formed. Skin, when fully ripe, pale yellow or 

 straw colour. Stalk about an inch long, slender at its junction 

 with the fruit. Calyx closed, and set in a basin of moderate 

 depth. Flesh tender, sweet, rich, and excellent. The tree is a 

 pretty free grower, and bears large crops. A valuable sort. 

 Ripe in August and September. 



GOLDEN BALL. Ken. 



This is a favourite apple in the state of Maine, and a vigorous, 

 hardy variety. Fruit large, roundish, narrowing a little to the 

 eye, about three inches deep and a good deal ribbed at the 

 sides and towards the crown. Skin smooth, golden yellow, with 

 a few dots. Stalk set in a broad, shallow cavity. Eye rather 

 narrow. Flesh crisp, tender, with a rich, aromatic flavour. 

 December to March. A native of Connecticut. Moderate 

 bearer. 



GOLDEN RUSSET, OF MASS. 



Tree vigorous, upright, and productive. Fruit medium, glo- 

 bular, conic. Skin golden russet, with a sunny cheek. Stalk 

 small and short, inserted in a deep cavity. Calyx nearly closed, 

 segments small, recurved, basin deep, round, and open. Flesh 

 yellowish-white, tender, with a rich mild sub-acid flavour. 

 January, April. 



There are many Golden Russets about the country, and it is 

 difficult to identify them. This is from Mass., and believed to 

 be distinct from those grown in N. Y., and west, yet may not 

 prove so when fully tested.
