197. FOREST STYRE. Pom. Heref. t.1%. 

 Red Styre. Ib. 



Fruit middle-sized, globular, not much unlike the 

 Orange Pippin, except its being deeper, and sunk at the 

 eye, which is nearly closed by the short, blunt seg-

 quite into the eye by ten regularly marked obtuse plaits.

 branches. Skin soft yellow, shaded and marbled with 

 deepish orange. 



Specific gravity of its Juice 1076 to 1081.

Fruit very small, growing in clusters of two or three

 slender. Skin bright gold, very full of minute dots; 

 and shaded with slight dashes and streaks of deep orange. 



Specific gravity of its Juice 1080.
