 serving also its fine flavor under unfavorable circumstances. 



44. MARK'S NEW SPITZENBURGH. Fig. 41.

 gated, symmetrical ; sides 



quite straight. Color yellow, 



bearing bright red stripes. 



Stem long, projecting beyond 



the base. Base and crown 



rounded. Calyx small, and 



both depressions shallow.

and rich. 



This new variety was raised 

 from the seeds of the Esopus

 son of Catskill, Greene county, 

 N. Y. Its size is rather less 

 than the Esopus Spitzenburgh, but it is more spicy ; its red is brighter and the skin is less 

 dotted. The tree grows more upright, aud its limbs never droop. The fruit keeps re- 

 markably well.

 ground. Flesh firm, aromatic and high flavored. English.

 with broad purplish stripes, bearing a bloom. Surface dotted; stem rather long. Calyx 

 resting in a deep depression. Flesh yellowish, mild, subacid, and pleasant.
