GARDEN ROYAL. 



This fine apple has been received from quite distant 

 points, Chillicothe, Ohio, and Salem, Indiana. It is quite 

 distinct in season from the Beefsteak or Garden of Down- 

 ing, but in description corresponds very closely with the 

 Garden-Royal of Elliott, which fruit I have not seen. 

 Origin unknown. 



Fruit pretty large, roundish, flat, regular; Surface 

 smooth, yellowish-green, slightly shaded red, scattered 

 stripes, carmine ; Dots minute, black. 



Basin wide, regular, small, closed. 



Cavity deep, acute, regular, green ; stem short to me- 

 dium, sometimes knobby. 



Core wide, closed or open, regular, clasping the eye ; 

 seeds small, pointed, brown ; flesh pale yellow or whitish, 

 tender, fine-grained, juicy ; Flavor sub- acid, aromatic, sac- 

 charine, agreeable; Quality very good to best; Use des- 

 sert, kitchen, market ; Season August to October ; worthy 

 of cultivation.
