DES( KII'TIONS 



13. EARLY JULIEN (Lond. Hort. Trans.). 



Fruit medium size, angular or ribbed : ribs continued into (lie borders of the crown de- 

 pression, where they terminate; in prominences. Color pale yellow. Flesh yellow, firm 

 and crisp. Flavor brisk and pleasant, and superior (o most of the August apples. 

 It is of Scotch origin, and is a good dessert fruit. 



14. GEORGE APPLE (Ohio Nurserymen and Fruit-growers, 



Fruit of the medium size, circular, slightly 



depressed and uniform. Stem slender, rather 



long, and set in a wide and rather shallow 



depression. Calyx surrounded by a low 



crown or summit, or rather enclosed in a 



shallow wide depression. Color pale yellow. 



Skin sprinkled with numerous small russety 



spots. Flesh subacid, whitish, juicy and 



firm. 



It is regarded with favor, but being a seed- 

 ling, and as yet but little known, its reputation 

 is not established. Ripens in July - August. 

 It is an Ohio apple, and originated in the 

 orchard of Mr. George, of Muskingum coun- 

 ty, Ohio. 



15. QUEEN ANNE APPLE (Elliott). 



Fruit above the medium size, oblong or elongated, suhangular, tapering from the middle 

 to the crown. Stem slender, of a medium length, and set in a rather deep narrow basin. 

 Calyx set in a deep depression, and surrounded by a narrow crown. Color bright yel- 

 lowish green. Skin sprinkled with white specks. Flesh yellowish, tender, and possesses 

 a rich subacid flavor. 



Ripens by the middle of August, and continues until the middle of September, but may 

 be kept till December. The tree is strong and thrifty : wood dark brown. A free and 

 early bearer. 



I perceive this apple has been referred to the Lowell apple, or Middle apple of Oneida 

 county, by J. J. Thomas. It is proper to say, that the apple known here under the name 

 of Lowell apple is quite different. It is figured on Plate 40; and although the form and 

 color agree, still the one figured is not ripe till February, and will keep till quite late in 

 the spring. For this reason I have retained the name Queen Anne, under which it is 

 described by Elliott in the Western Reserve Magazine, p. 145, for September.
