Astrachan sparreholms ( Svensk Pomologi Applen, p. 73) . " Originated in 1859. 

 Ripens late in September; not commonly cultivated even in Sweden; as good 

 as any ripening at this time; believed to be a hybrid between White Astra- 

 khan and Rosenhager. ' ' ( Fairchild. ) 



5811.

 described in 1862 ; original tree in middle Sweden, at Bjorkvicks. ' ' ( Fairchild. )

 known, even in Sweden." {Fairchild.)

 it is a good sort; has been introduced into Finland within the last ten years, 

 and is cultivated there with great success." (Fairchild.) 



5814. 



Gimmersta. "Of unknown origin. Little known, even in Sweden. An 

 excellent early (September) table apple; very hardy; a first-rate market 

 apple. ' ' ( Fairchild. ) 



5815. 



Hampus. "A summer apple of the very first quality; rather small; trees 

 hardy, but of slow growth; probably of Swedish origin; very commonly grown; 

 one of the best known and most extensively grown sorts." (Fairchild.) 



5816. 



Oranie. "A well-known summer or early autumn sort, in color not very 

 attractive, but in flavor next to "Humus," the best in Sweden; very heavy

 mends it heartily for trial." (Fairchild.) 



5817. 



Svensk vinterpostof. "One of the oldest and commonest sorts; late autumn 

 and early winter variety of medium quality; most used as a table apple, but is 

 suitable for kitchen use; does not keep late into winter." (Fairchild.)
