BBAITDY APPLE. 



This highly flavored English apple is often referred to, 

 but is rarely seen in American collections ; but as it may 

 be interesting to some, I quote Downing's brief descrip- 

 tion : 



" Fruit small, irregularly round ; Skin rather rough, dull 

 russet over a yellow ground, with a russetyred cheek; 

 Flesh yellow, of fine texture, with a rich sub-acid flavor. 

 The fruit is apt to shrivel." 



Tree of slender growth.

 nually, productive. 



Fruit large, round, but appearing oblong, regular; Sur- 

 face smooth, yellow to golden, slightly bronzed or blushed 

 when fully ripe ; this and the dots can scarcely be seen 

 while the fruit is immature.
