13. RACE'S RED. Plate 48, fig. 1. 



Fruit of the medium size, sub-circular, rather elongated. Stem short and rather thick, and 

 set in a deep russetty depression ; base rather wide, and tapers from near the middle of 

 the apple each way. Calyx small, plaited in a shallow depression. Color carmine, 

 paler on the shaded side, and the coronal end with a few grayish dots. Flesh yellowish, 

 tender, rather acid, crisp. Core and calyx small. 

 Exhibited at the Pomologicnl Convention, New-York, by E. G. Studley, of Claverack, 



Columbia county. The apple is very fine, and worthy of cultivation. 



14. MARK'S NEW STRAWBERRY APPLE. Plate 52, fig. 1. 



Fruit of the medium size, elongated, tapering to the crown. Stem rather long, slender, 

 deeply inserted. Calyx large ; segments leafy, closed and prominent, shallow. Crown 

 narrow. Color carmine, striped and darker upon the sunny side, dotted sparsely ; spots 

 arranged in stripes. Flesh white, tinged reddish near the skin : a red streak encircles 

 the core. Flesh tender, juicy ; flavor quite like the strawberry. Ripe early in October, 

 but suitable for cooking early in September. 

 This apple was exhibited at the Fruit Convention in New-York, by A. Mark, esquire, 



of Durham, Greene county. It must be regarded as ranking high among the autumn 



apples. I have been unable to identify it under any described fruits, and hence have 



noticed it as above. 



15. AUTUMN STRAWBERRY. Plate 75, fig. 1. 

 A dark carmine apple, deeper in spots, scarcely striped ; ends subequal, medium size. 

 Stem projects beyond the base ; depression moderately deep, and spread with thin russet. 

 Calyx rather large, moderately deep. Flesh white, juicy, stained with red around the 

 calyx. Flavor resembles the strawberry, and is a fine October fruit. 



16. LATE STRAWBERRY 

 Fruit near the medium size, symmetrical, 



circular, slightly elongated. Stem projects 



beyond the base ; depression russetty, ex- 

 tending outward in a stellated form. 



Calyx rather small, nearly closed. Color 



carmine, and with slashes of deeper on 



the sunny side, dotted. Flesh subacid, 



stained reddish around the core ; flavor 



of the strawberry, juicy. 



Probably the Autumn and Late Straw- 

 berry are the same, while the Fall and 

 Mark's New Strawberry are different varie- 

 ties. The Late Strawberry has a deeper stem 

 depression than the Autumn, but their cha- 

 racters are so near alike that they may he regarded as the same
