166 .THE APPLE. 



LOWELL. 



Orange. Greasy Pippin. 



Tallow Apple. Queen Anne. 



Origin unknown. Tree vigorous, spreading, productive. 



Fruit large, roundish, oval, or conic. Skin bright waxen 

 yellow. Stalk of medium length, cavity deep, uneven, basin 

 deep, abrupt, and furrowed. Flesh whitish, with a brisk, rich, 

 rather acid flavour. September, October. 



LYMAN'S PUMPKIN SWEET. Ken. 

 Pound Sweet. 



A. very large sweet apple, which we received from Mr. S. 

 Lyman, of Manchester, Conn. It is, perhaps, inferiour to the 

 Jersey Sweet or the Summer Sweet Paradise for the table, but 

 is a very valuable apple for baking, and deserves a place on this 

 account in every orchard. The original tree of this sort is 

 growing in Mr. Lyman's orchard. 



Fruit very large, roundish, more or less furrowed or ribbed, 

 especially near the stalk. Skin smooth, pale green, with ob- 

 scure whitish streaks near the stalk, and numerous white dots 

 near the eye, sometimes becoming a little yellow next the sun. 

 Stalk short, deeply sunk in a narrow cavity. Calyx rather 

 small, set in an abruptly sunk, rather irregular basin. Flesh 

 white, very sweet, rich, and tender, but not very juicy. Sep- 

 tember to December. 



There is another Pumpkin Sweet known in this State, which 

 is oblong or pearmain-shaped, striped with yellow and red, and 

 ripens in August and September ; a second rate apple. 



LYMAN'S LARGE SUMMER. 

 Large Yellow Summer. Ken. 



A large and handsome American fruit, introduced to notice 

 by Mr. S. Lyman, of Manchester, Conn. The bearing trees are 

 easily recognized by their long and drooping branches, which 

 are almost wholly without fruit spurs, but bear in clusters at 

 their extremities. They bear poorly until the tree attains con- 

 piderable size, when it yields excellent crops. Fruit quite large, 

 roundish, flattened at the ends. Skin smooth, pale yellow. 

 Flesh yellow, tender, sub-acid, rich, and high flavoured, and ex- 

 cellent either for the table or for cooking. Last of August. 



LYSCOM. Man. Ken. 

 Osgood's Favourite. Matthew Stripe. 



Origin, Massachusetts. Fruit large, roundish. Skin greenish 

 yellow, with a few broken stripes or splashes of red. Stalk short,
