THE APPLE. 



HAUTE BONTE. 

 Reinette grise haute bonte. Blandilalie. 



An old French dessert Apple. 



Fruit medium, roundish, ribbed, yellow, with faint tinge of red in 

 the sun. Flesh greenish white, tender, juicy, brisk subacid. Decem- 

 ber to February. 



Haskell Sweet. 



HAWLEY. 



Origin, Columbia Co., N. Y. Tree vigorous, and bears annually. 



Fruit large, roundish oblate conic. Skin fine yellow, somewhat 

 waxen or oily, and considerably dotted. Stalk short, inserted in a 

 rather deep cavity. Calyx small, nearly closed, in a moderate, some- 

 what furrowed basin. Flesh whitish, very tender, juicy, rich, mild 

 subacid. Ripe September. 



A fruit of very good quality, but as it soon decays, its value is thereby 

 much depreciated. 



HAWTHORNDEN. 

 White Hawthornden. 



A celebrated Scotch Apple, which originated at Hawthornden, the 

 birthplace of the poet Drummond. It resembles, somewhat, our 

 Maiden's Blush, but is inferior to that fruit in flavor. An excellent 

 bearer, a handsome fruit, and good for cooking or drying, and exceed- 

 ingly profitable for market. 



Tree vigorous, upright, spreading, and, when in bearing, somewhat 

 pendulous. Young shoots very short-jointed, dull reddish brown. Buds 

 prominent.
