Stem, rather slender, fairly long, in a wide deep cavity, 

 which is sometimes rather russet. Growth, vigorous. 

 Leaf, narrow, flat, pale, crenate. Originated about 1876, 

 with Mr. David Florey, near Adams Boro, Indiana. 

 Introduced in 1890. The very fine specimens of this 

 fruit sent from the States have led us to test this variety 

 but at present the quality and fertility which it will 

 attain in this country are somewhat doubtful.

WINTER MAJETIN. Culinary, till April, medium, 

 2f by 2 f , round, tapering a little to eye, uneven. Colour, 

 grass-green, fading to yellow with a strong brown flush. 

 Flesh, greenish-white, crisp, sub-acid. Eye, closed, in 

 a shallow much ribbed basin, around which five promi- 

 nent ribs stand up. Stem, rather slender, fairly long, 

 in a very deep, narrow, slightly russet cavity. Growth, 

 upright spreading, well spurred ; fertility, excellent. 

 Leaf, large, flat, down-curved at tip, bi-serrate. Origin, 

 this variety is supposed to have originated in Norfolk, 

 and has a reputation there of resisting American Blight, 

 and is used as a stock in Australia with this object. 

 For a free cropping late culinary variety, it deserves 

 to be better known though it is a little small for modern 

 standards. 



WINTER PEACH. Fl. and Pom., 1883, 153. F., 

 Peche d'Hiver. Culinary, till March, medium, 2f by 2, 

 round flattened, fairly regular. Colour, palest creamy- 

 yellow with faint scarlet blush. Flesh, crisp, yellowish, 

 juicy, slight spicy flavour. Eye, open, in a rather 

 deep basin. Stem, very short in a deep cavity. 

 Growth, moderate ; fertility, moderate. Leaf, pale, 

 little upfolded, large, very coarsely curved serrate. 

 Origin, an American variety of uncertain origin ; known 

 in England in 1853. This apple keeps well but it is 

 not of particularly good flavour, and being apt to canker 

 it is 'only second rate.
