DESCRIPTIONS 



78. STANNARD'S SEEDLING. 

 Fruit of the medium size ; subangular, depressed, base broad, narrowing rapidly from near 

 the middle to the apex, which is narrow. Stem projecting' from a wide depression ; 

 calyx large, depression shallow. Color red, with a base only faintly striped on a green 

 ground : dots sparsely distributed over a slightly russeted skin. Flesh white, tender, 

 juicy; vinous and pleasant, but not first rate. Calyx tube closed ; core small. Keeps 

 well, and retains its juiciness when long exposed to the air.

79. SALISBURY WINTER. 



Fig. §2. 



Fruit nearly of the medium size; circular, or 

 subcircular; oval; symmetrical; ends sub- 

 equal. Color yellow, ornamental color, or- 

 ange but faint. Stem short, slender, insert- 

 ed near the base, the depression being very 

 shallow. Calyx of the medium size, nar- 

 row, but deeper than the basal depression. 

 Flesh tender, yellowish, juicy, subacid, and 

 very pleasant ; equals the Swaar. 

 This apple was brought to my notice by Mr. 

 James H. Salisbury, of Cortland Co. It has 

 been cultivated for many years by Nathan Sa- 

 lisbury, Esq., his father, an intelligent fruit- 

 grower of that county, and has ever been es- 

 teemed as one of the best of apples. Having 

 tasted this apple on several occasions, I must concur in this opinion. It may be a well 

 known fruit, yet I have failed to discover a description in books which answers to its cha- 

 racters. The insertion of the stem is peculiar, and will lead at once to its recognition. 



80. WARREN PIPPIN. Plate 54. (Ortley —Van Dyme.) 

 Fruit of the medium size, elongated ; subangular, subcircular. Color green and greenish 

 yellow. On ripening, ornamented with a deep brown blush, interrupted by one or more 

 patches of green or yellowish green near the base ; skin dotted ; stem rather short. Ca- 

 lyx depression shallow, narrow and plaited; plaits rather large. Flesh white, tinged 

 greenish; crisp, perfumed, excellent. Tree productive.
