RUSSIAN APPLE TREES. 



Scions received by the Iowa State Agricultural College from Dr. Hegel, St. Peters- 

 burg, March, 1879. This collection contained seventy-two varieties. Of these the 

 following either do not appear in the U. S. importation of 1870, or else they appear 

 under other numbers. 



NOTES ON THE ABOVE. 



No. 10 might prove the same as 964 Dep. Autumn Streaked. 243, Nasliednik Xico- 

 lai Aleksandrovitch. I am at a loss for a short name for this. Prof. Jankowski and 

 others give Nicolayer as a synonym, but Dr, Regel never mentions it, neither in his 

 Russian Pomology nor in any catalogue 1 have seen. Besides this Andre Ijeroy 

 states tiiat Nicolayer is said to have originated in the Crimea, while Dr. Regel gives 

 the St. Petersburg and Baltic coast provinces as the home of the .\. N. A. Prof, 

 liudd suggested "Throne" because that personage was heir to the throne, and I at 

 the time agreed; yet I fear such a translation is so free as to he ojFen to censure. 239 

 Zelenka may be i)67 Dep. Zelenoe. 3(11 Pii)ka ostrokonetchnaya, tiie sharply pointed 

 pipka has been erroneously propagated as the Astrachan Pippin.
