CLASS I. — FLAT APPLES. ^IL I. L 475 



Street and. Soar. 



This variety is interesting as a curiosity, rather than 

 valuable for its good qualities. It has been suggested 

 that it might be a sport ; no educated nurseryman will 

 now believe the old story of its having been produced by 

 the combination of the buds of two varieties, a sweet and 

 a sour. 



Fruit large, oblate, often unequal and lop-sided, ribbed, 

 and deeply furrowed. 



Surface yellow and green, the ribs being developed and 

 ripening have flavor, but the furrows not being developed 

 are flavorless and called sweet. 



S'weet Spong^e. 



From H. N. Gillett ; Origin imknown. 



Fruit medium, oblate, irregular ; Surfare smooth, yel- 

 lowish white; Dots minute. 



Basin none or extremely shallow, folded; Eye long, 

 closed.
