Baumann's Reinette. — At Warsaw, Proskau and Reutlingen 

 we hear high opinions of this fruit. Mr. Lauche, of Potsdam, Ber- 

 lin, in his Deutche Pomologie, says that its bearing, beauty and 

 quality makes it deserving of very extensive cultivation, and says 

 farther that it is fine grained, crisp, juicy apple, of characteristic, 

 acidulated, spicy flavor. A valuable apple for family use, in season 

 from January till March or May, but too small for market. 



BoHNAPFEL Grosser. — This has been long grown by the 

 peasants on the Rhine and in Wurtemberg, yet Mr. Lucas does 

 not mention it among his favorite kinds, probably from its lack of 

 fine quality. It has the same thick, plicated, pubescent leaf as the 

 Batullen, and would seem of the same race, and like it unusually 

 productive. It is valued for drying, baking and cider. It is a 

 medium-sized apple with a red side, harsh and sour until spring, 

 when it becomes sweeter, but without aroma. Its long keeping and 

 heavy bearing alone merit its extensive cultivation. 



BoiKENAPFEL has been long known in the neighborhood of 

 Bremen, long grown and highly esteemed, and has been recom- 

 mended for general cultivation in Germany. 



It has a snow white, firm, fine grained flesh, good fair size^ 

 though mostly green in color. An excellent table apple for family- 

 use, in season from January till June. 



Champagner Reinette. — A little dessert apple of rather fine- 

 quality which has been planted rather largely, says Mr. Lauche,. 

 in Germany since 1857, when it was recommended for general, 

 cultivation. It keeps till June. Dr. Stoll, at Proskau, gave us a. 

 specimen on July 28th. The tree, I fear, is not quite as hardy as 

 some others. At Riga, not at all hardy. This, therefore, cannot be 

 the Champagnskaya Pipka we heard of as hardy and valuable at 

 Orel and other places in Central Russia. Mr. Shroeder describes a 

 Champanskoe as a rather large, flat conic, greenish yellow apple 

 somewhat striped. A winter fruit of very fine quality and a hardy, 

 though a crooked growing tree. 



Danziger Kantapfel has been grown, says Mr. Lauche, in 

 Ger\nany and Holland under many names. " A fine-fleshed juicy 

 apple of aromatic, acidulated sugary flavor." A valuable home 

 use table fruit that keeps till January.
