some writers.

 depression. Crown surrounds a shallow basin whose form is irregularly plaited. Flesh 

 crisp and juicy, pleasant.

Fruit below the medium size, ovate, compressed at the crown, whose depression is rather 

 wide and shallow. Color bright yellow, suffused on the sunny side with an orange blush. 

 Flesh yellowish, firm, crisp. 

 This apple is considered by Downing as inferior to many others which ripen in August. 



10. WHITE JTJNEATING. 



Fruit below the medium size, roundish, circular : depressions shallow. Stem long and 

 slender. Color first greenish, then yellow, and finally the sunny side has a faint blush.

as the best. 



11. WHITE ASTRACAN. 



White Astracan, Thompson, Lindley. Ptjrus Astracanica, Transparent Muscovie, Glace de Zel-ande of the French 



gardeners. 



This apple is not regarded as worthy of cultivation. It is conical, somewhat ribbed on the 

 sides, and also in the depression of the crown. Skin smooth, white, with a white bloom 

 and a few faint stripes of red. Flesh white, tender, rather dry, and disposed to become 

 mealy and water-cored. Ripens early in August. 



12. RED QUARENDEN (Lindley). 



Sack Apple. 



Fruit scarcely reaching the medium size, roundish ovate, flattened and slightly narrowed 

 at the crown, which has a very shallow depression. Color subcarmine, with a roundish 

 spot of green on the sunny side, and dotted with green. 

 Ripens early in August, and continues into September. It is a fine desert apple, and 



nearly equals in beauty the Red Astracan.
