ftuLDERLiNG LangSr C^runer. — A largisH green apple tinged 

 with red, grown in quantity in Silesia. It keeps till May and is 

 then a fairly good eating apple. Earlier in the season it is too 

 iacid. 



Gruner Fustenapfel, (Green Princes' Apple), is grown 

 iargely about Hanover and Berlin, in Pomerania, and on the Rhine 

 near Coblenz, and in cold districts among the Carpathian Moun- 

 tains ; a small or medium-sized green apple that keeps till May or 

 June, and, though lacking beauty, yet very productive and, there*- 

 fore, largely grown. The tree seems hardier than some others. 



Lan'jsburger Reinette. — A rather large yellowish fruit with 

 dull red side, second quality or almost first, some say, for table ; 

 it bears abundantly, and keeps till January or, some say, till 

 March. Mr. Goegginger says not hardy at Riga. 



Muscat Reinette. — ^This is one of the best of the German 

 apples. Ir is highly prized and largely cultivat'^d in Germany, 

 Holland and France. It is a medium-isized yellow fruit, splashed 

 with red, distinguished by its strong aromatic and sugary flavor. 

 It keeps till spring. The tree is hardy in North Germany, but, 

 Mr. Goegginger tells me, not at Riga. 



PuKi'URROTHER CusiNOT. — Prof. StoU, of Kostencuberg, tells 

 me that this tree is grown in very large quantity in Bohemia and 

 Silesia, and is said to prove vcly hardy and productive in the 

 colder parts of these districts. Oberdick called attention to its 

 wonderful producliveness, says Mr. Lauche, and since then it has 

 been recommended in Germany for general cultivation. A dull 

 re'i fruit of medium size, of a slightly cinnamon sugary flavor. It 

 is in season from December to May, and is said to be "the" 

 apple of :' .s season in some of the German markets. I regret to 

 say that Mr. Goegginger has found it not hardy at Riga. 



Stettiner Gelber. — This is Said to be a filler and preferable 

 apple to the Stettiner Rother. It is a medium-sized, sometimes 

 largish apple of good quality that keeps till spring and is grown 

 Idrgely for market iii some districts in North Gehnany. A speci- 

 men of it was given td us to taste, by Dr. Stoll, at Proskau, on 

 July 28th ; of course at that late date it had lost flavor.
