THE APPLE. 127 



closed, set in a shallow, uneven basin. Flesh, greenish, tender, 

 juicy, with a mild, pleasant, subacid flavour. January to April. 



Carolina Red June. 

 Red June. Blush June. 



Origin, somewhat uncertain, supposed to be Carolina. Tree 

 very vigorous, upright, an early and abundant bearer, much 

 esteemed at the south and sonth-west as their best early apple, 

 ripe a few days after Early Harvest, not equal to it in flavour 

 but more profitable as an orchard fruit. 



Fruit medium or below, oval, irregular, inclining to conic. 

 Skin smooth, nearly the whole surface shaded with deep red and 

 almost of a purplish hue on the sunny side, and covered with a 

 light bloom. Stem variable in length, inserted in a small nar- 

 row cavity. Calyx closed, segments long, reflexed, basin narrow 

 plaited. Flesh very white, tender, juicy, with a brisk sub-acid 

 flavour. 



Carolina Striped June. Willson's June. This is claimed to 

 be distinct from the above, because the fruit is striped, whilst 

 the other is always shaded. The growth of the tree, form, flavour 

 of the fruit, and time of ripening similar. Not having seen this 

 we are not able to decide. 



Carnahan's Favorite. 



Origin, Southern Ohio. Tree vigorous, productive. Fruit 

 large, roundish, conic. Skin yellowish, striped and shaded with 

 red and much sprinkled with green or russet dots. Stalk of 

 medium length, cavity large. Calyx large, segments long, in a 

 corrugated basin. Flesh fine grained, juicy, with a very pleasant 

 vinous flavour. December to March. 



Carter. 

 Royal Pippin. 



Origin, farm of Nath. Carter, Leominster, Mass. A vigorous 

 grower and productive. 



Fruit above medium, roundish, oval. Skin yellow, slightly 

 shaded, striped, and marbled with red. Stem short, inserted in 

 a deep cavity. Calyx closed, set in a large basin. Flesh ten- 

 der, almost melting, with a very mild, pleasant flavour. October 

 to January. 



There is also a Carter Apple of Virginia, and another of Ala- 

 bama, but we have not seen them and they may prove synony- 

 mous. 



Carnation. 

 Fruit medium size, a delicious sub-acid apple, fully first-rate.
