 GARDEN KOYAL. 



This fine apple has been received from quite distant 

 points, Chillicothe, Ohio, and Salem, Indiana. It is quite 

 distinct in season from the Seef steak or Garden of Down- 

 ing, but in description corresponds very closely with the 

 Garden-Royal of Elliott, Avhich fruit I have not seen. 

 Origin unknown.

 smooth, yellowish-green, slightly shaded red, scattered 

 stripes, carmine ; Dots minute, black. 



Basin wide, n-gular, small, closed. 



Cavity deep, acute, regular, green ; stem short to me- 

 dium, sometimes knobby. 



Core wide, closed or open, regular, clasping the eye ; 

 seeds small, pointed, biown ; flesh pale yellow or whitish, 

 tender, fine-grained, juicy ; Flavor sub-acid, aromatic, sao- 

 chaiiiie, agreeable ; Quality very good to best ; Use des- 

 sert, kitchen, market ; Season August to October ; worthy 

 of cultivation.
