GrRAYENSTEIN. — ^Fruit, above the medium size ; roundish, irregu- 

 lar, and angular on the sides, the ribs of which extend from the base, 

 even to the eye. Skin, smooth, clear pale waxen yellow, streaked and 

 dotted with lively crimson, intermixed with orange, on the side next 

 the sun. Eye, large and open, with long segments, which are a little 

 reflexed, and set in an irregular, angular, and knobbed basin, which is 

 sometimes lined with fine deHcate russet, and dotted round the margin 

 with minute russety dots. Stalk, very short, but sometimes three 

 quarters of an inch long, set in a deep and angular cavity. Flesh, 

 white, crisp, very juicy, with a rich, vinous, and powerful aromatic 

 flavour ; and if held up between the eye and the hght, with the hand 

 placed on the margin of the basin of the eye, it exhibits a transparency 

 Uke porcelain. 



This is a very valuable apple of the first quality, and is equally 

 desirable either for the dessert or culinary purposes ; it is in use from 

 October to December. The tree is hardy, a vigorous and healthy 

 grower, and generally a good bearer. It has somewhat of a pyramidal 

 habit of growth, and attains a considerable size. 



Though not of recent introduction, this beautiful and excellent apple is com- 

 paratively but little known, otherwise it would be more generally cultivated. It 

 is one of the favourite apples of Germany, particularly about Hamburgh, and in 

 Holstein, where it is said to have originated in the garden of the Duke of 

 Angustenberg, at the Castle of Grafenstein. The original tree is said to have been 

 in existence about the middle of the last century.
