BUSSIAN APPLE TREES. 



Scions received by the Iowa State Agricultural College from Dr. Eegel, 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 Nico- 

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

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

 Eussian Pomology nor in any catalogue I have seen. Besides this Andre Leroy 

 states that Nicolayer is said to have originated in the Crimea, while Dr. Eegel gives 

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

 Budd 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 be open to censure. 239 

 Zelenka may be 967 Dep. Zelenoe. 361 Pipka ostrokonetchnaya, the sharply pointed 

 pipka has been erroneously propagated as the Astrachan Pippin.
