BOGDANOFF. 



A good, late-keeping apple would be a perfect God-send to 

 our province and its like climates. Bogdanoff is a most promising 

 variety, well-worthy of its name, which means God-given. 



Bohemian Girl, (Tsiganka, Zuiganka). — We saw this 

 beautiful apple in the Voronesh Market, a medium- sized sen;:- 

 oblate fruit, blushed all over with deep pink. The flesh is white,

 from gpecimeng.
