THE APPLE. 197 



TETOFSKY. Thomp. 



The Tetofsky is a Russian summer apple, which piomises 

 well. 



Fruit of medium size, oblate conic, sometimes nearly round. 

 Skin smooth, with a yellow ground handsomely striped with 

 red, and, like most apples of that country, covered with a whitish 

 bloom, under which is a shining skin. The flesh is white and 

 juicy, with a sprightly and agreeable flavour. August. Suc- 

 ceeds at the North. 



TEWKSBURY WINTER BLUSH. Coxe. 



Mr. Coxe says, this apple was brought from Tewksbury, Hun- 

 terdon county, N. J. It is a handsome, fair fruit, with more 

 flavour and juiciness than is usual in long-keeping apples. 

 They may be kept till August, without particular care, quite 

 plump and sound. The size is small, rather flat. The skin 

 smooth, yellow, with a red cheek. Flesh yellow, with more 

 juice and flavour than any other long-keeping variety. The 

 tree grows rapidly and straight and the fruit hangs till late in 

 the autumn. January to July.
