THE APPLE. 



PoMME DE Neige. Thomp. Lind. 



Fameuse. Forsyth. 

 Sanguineus. 

 Snowy Chimney. 



A very celebrated Canada fruit (probably an old French fruit), 

 whicli has its name from the snow-white colour of its flesh, or, 

 as some say, from the village from whence it was first taken to 

 England. It is an excellent, productive, autumn apple, and is 

 especially valuable in northern latitudes. 



Fruit of medium size, roundish, somewhat flattened; skin 

 with a ground of pale greenish yellow, mixed with faint streaks 

 of pale red on the shady side, but marked with blotches and short 

 stripes of darker red, and becoming a fine deep red in the sun ; 

 stalk quite slender, half an inch long, planted on a narrow funnel- 

 shaped cavity ; calyx small, and set in a shallow, rather narrow 

 basin ; flesh remarkably white, very tender, juicy, and good, with 

 a slight perfume. Ripe in October and November. A regular 

 bearer, and a handsome dessert fruit.
