110 THE APPLE. 



Wagener. 



Origin, Penn Yan, Yates Co., N. Y. Tree, thrifty, upright ; 

 requires thinning to produce good flavoured fruit; when grown 

 in the shade, is wanting in flavour. 



Fruit medium, or above, irregularly oblate, angular. Skin 

 white, mostly shaded ^yiih crimson, obscurely striped, and 

 sprinkled with light dots. Stalk nearly an inch long, rather 

 slender, inserted in a large, broad, irregular cavity. Calyx small 

 and closed, set in a rather abrupt somewhat corrugated basin. 

 Flesh yellowish, very tender, juicy, with an excellent brisk 

 vinous flavour. A very delicate apple. Ripe November to Fe- 

 bruary. 



Westfield Seek-no-further. 



Connecticut Seek-no-further. 

 Seek-no-further. 



The Westfield Seek-no-fur tker is the Seek-no-further of Con- 

 necticut, and is an old and highly esteemed variety of that dis- 

 trict. It has a pearmain flavour. 



Fruit large, pretty regularly round. Skin pale, or dull red 

 over a pale clouded green ground — the red sprinkled with ob- 

 scure russety yellow dots. Stalk very slender, three-fourths of an 

 inch long, inserted in an even cavity. Calyx closed, or with a 

 few reflexed segments, and set in an even basin of moderate 

 depth. Flesh white, fine grained, tender, with a rich, pearmain 

 flavour. A first rate fruit. October to February. 



White Winter Pearmain. 



Origin unknown, by some thought to be an old eastern variety, 

 highly esteemed at the west, for all purposes. Specimens sent us 

 by Henry Avery, and others, were of the best quality. Tree 

 spreading, hardy, and thrifty, a regular and good bearer. 



Fruit medium, or above, oblong, conic, somewhat oblique. 

 Stalk short, inserted in a deep round cavity. Calyx nearly 

 closed, segments long, basin uneven, surrounded by five pro- 

 minences, which are continued in obscure angles along its 

 sides. Skin pale yellow, with a slight blush or waraa cheek, 

 thickly sprinkled with minute brown dots. Flesh yellowish, 

 tender, crisp, juicy, with a very pleasant subacid flavour. Ja- 

 nuary to April. 



Winter Harvey in many respects is similar to the above, and 

 may prove so.
