This apple, extensively planted in the orchards on the Hud- 
son, so much resembles the Rambo externally, that the two are 
often confounded together, and the outline of the latter fruit (see 
Rambo,) may be taken as nearly a fac-simile of this. The Domine 
is, however, of a livelier colour, and the flavour and season of 
the two fruits. are very distinct,—the Rambo being rather a high 
flavoured early winter or autumn apple, while the Domine is a 
sprightly, juicy, long keeping, winter fruit. 
Fruit of medium size, flat. Skin lively gfeenish-yellow in 
the shade, with stripes and splashes of bright red. in the sun, 
and pretty large russet specks. Stalk long and slender, planted 
in a wide cavity and inclining to one side. Calyx small, ina 
broad basin, moderately sunk. Flesh white, exceedingly tender 
and juicy, with a sprightly pleasant, though not high flavour. 
Young. wood of a smooth, lively, light brown, and the trees are 
the most rapid growers and prodigious.bearers that we know— 
the branches being literally weighed down by the rope-like 
clusters of fruit. : 
The Domine does not appear to be described by any foreign 
author. Coxe says that he received it from England, but the 
-apple he describes and figures does not appear to be ours, and 
we have never met with it in any colle+tion here. It is highly 
probable that this is a native fruit. It is excellent from De- 
-eember till April. :
