 ago. It was re-named Dyer by the Mass. llort. Society, who 

 supposed it to be a seedling of Mr. Dyer, of R. L, but the old 

 and familiar name of Pomme Royale should be preferred. 



Fruit of medium size, roundish, pretty regularly formed. Skin 

 smooth, pale greenish yellow, with a faint blush and a few dark 

 specks on one side. Stalk about half an inch long, set in a 

 smooth, round cavity. Calyx closed, basin plaited, moderately 

 deep. Core round, hollow. Flesh white, very tender and juicy ; 

 flavour very mild and agreeable — slightly sub-acid. September, 

 October.
