Fruit, large, three inches and a half wide, and three and a quarter 

 high ; not so much flattened as the other Calvilles. Skin, -pale red, 

 with a trace of yellow on the shaded side, bat of a beautiful deep crim- 

 son next the sun, and marked with yellowish dots on the shaded side. 

 Eye, half open, set in a rather shallow, and ribbed basin, which is 

 lined with fine down. Stalk, rather short, inserted in a wide and deep 

 cavity, which is lined with russet. Flesh, white, tinged with red under 

 the skin, and ^ery much so on the side which is exposed to the sun ; it 

 is tender, delicate, and juicy, with a pleasant, vinous, and violet scented 

 flavor. 



A culinary apple of inferior quality in this country, but highly 

 esteemed on the Continent, both as a culiniiry and a dessert fruit. 

 It is in season during October and November. 



The tree is a strong and vigorous grower, and attains the largest size. 

 It is also an abundant bearer. To have the fruit in perfection it ought 

 to be grown on the paradise stock as an open dwarf, in a fine sandy loam, 

 and not too closely pruned.
