190 THE APPLE. 



Flesh yellowish, juicy, with a very rich, vinous, pleasant aroma 

 tic flavour. November, March. 



SPITZENBURGH, FLUSHING. 



This variety has been confounded by Coxe, and more recently 

 by Thompson, with the Esopus Spitzenburgh, but is really quite 

 distinct. The tree makes strong, brown shoots, different from 

 the slender yellowish ones of that sort. 



The fruit is roundish-conical, stalk set in a narrow cavity, 

 projecting beyond the fruit. Skin nearly covered with red, on 

 a greenish yellow ground, dotted with large fawn spots, and 

 coated with a slight bloom. Calyx small, in an even basin. 

 Flesh white, juicy, crisp, nearly sweet, and of pleasant flavour, 

 but without the brisk richness, or yellow colour of the Esopus 

 Spitzenburgh. October to February. 



SUTTON BEAUTY. 

 Beauty. 



Origin, Sutton, Mass. Tree upright, thrifty, and very pro- 

 ductive. Fruit medium or above, roundish, somewhat angular, 

 conic. Skin waxen yellow, shaded, mottled and obscurely strip- 

 ed with fine crimson, and thinly sprinkled with whitish dots. 

 Stem rather short, inserted in a medium cavity, slightly sur- 

 rounded by greenish russet. Calyx partially closed, set in a 

 moderate, uneven basin. Flesh whitish, crisp, tender, juicy, with 

 a sprightly, sub-acid flavour. November, February. 



SWEETING, HARTFORD. 



Spencer Sweeting. 

 Keney's Sweet. 



Origin, farm of Mr. Spencer, near Hartford, and introduced

 ductive.

 and fair, almost covered and striped with fine red over a yellow- 

 ish green ground, and sprinkled with small grey dots. Stalk

 rather shallow, round cavity. Calyx broad, closed, with few 

 segments, set in a slightly uneven basin which is but little sunk. 

 Flesh very juicy, tender, with a rich, agreeable flavour. De-
