Aurora. Wine of Connecticut. 



A very large and showy Apple, well known in Cayuga Co., N. Y., but 

 an old fruit from Connecticut. It is a good, sprightly fruit, though not 

 very high flavored, but its remarkably handsome appearance and large 

 size render it one of the most popular fruits in market. The tree is 

 thrifty, and makes a compact, neat head, bears regular crops, and the 

 fruit is always fair and handsome. Young wood rich brownish red. 



Fruit very large, roundish, slightly uneven, greenish yellow, boldly 

 splashed and marbled with stripes of purplish red. Stalk short, set in 

 a wide, deep cavity. Calyx small. Basin moderately deep. Flesh 

 coarse-grained, sprightly, brisk subacid. Good to very good. October 

 to January. 



TWIN. 



A variety introduced and disseminated in Michigan by a nursery- 

 man, who, having lost its true name, applied the above, because of its 

 bearing its fruit in pairs. It has not yet been identified, but will pro- 

 bably prove some old variety. 



Fruit above medium, oblate, yellowish white, nearly covered with 

 bright red, shaded and striped with dark red, usually a patch of russet 

 next the stalk. Flesh fine-grained, crisp, juicy, with occasional pink 

 lines or threads through it, aromatic. October, November. Core small, 

 close. (T. T. Lyon, MS.)

 sprinkled with small gray dots. Stalk long and slender, inserted in a 

 deep cavity. Calyx small and closed, set in an abrupt, plaited basin. 

 Flesh very white, veined with red under the skin, and sometimes at 

 the core, tender, very sweet and pleasant. Good. November, De-
