THE APPLE. 



is of rather slender and slow growth, and even while young is always 

 remarkable for its rough bark. 



Fruit of medium size, roundish, a little irregular in its outline, caused 

 by two or three obscure ribs on the sides and broadest at the base, next 

 the stalk ; about three inches in diameter, and two and a half deep. Color 

 dull green, becoming olive green when ripe, with a faint, dull brownish 

 blush on one side, dotted with small gray specks, and with delicate rus- 

 set rays around the stalk. Calyx quite small and closed, set in a narrow 

 and shallow basin. Stalk half an inch long, rather slender, deeply sunk 

 in a wide, funnel-shaped cavity. Flesh greenish white, very juicy, crisp, 

 with a fine aroma, and an exceedingly high and delicious flavor. Best. 

 When the fruit is not grown on healthy trees, it is liable to be spotted
