CA TAL OGUE OF FR UITS. 15 



colder sections of the country, where our highly prized varieties utterly fail, owing to 

 lack of hardiness, the Russian Apples will no doubt do well and prove to be a great de- 

 sideratum. We find nearly all the sorts which have borne fruit thus far to be summer 

 or fall apples here. Grown farther north, they will undoubtedly keep considerably 

 longer. From the large collection, we have selected for propagation the two following 

 as the most valuable. We have besides two or three others, which we consider quite 

 meritorious, but we have determined not to ofier them yet. 



Price — 40 cents each. $4 per dozen. 



Arabskoe (Arabian Apple) — Large ; three inches in diameter, roundish, inclining to 

 conical ; greenish yellow ground, mostly covered with purplish red and a itght 

 bloom ; flesh fine grained, white, juicy, sub-acid ; a moderate grower ; foliage 

 very large, over four inches long, with long stalks ; a beautiful apple. Ripe here 

 in October, but will keep later. 



Titovka (Titus Apple) — Large; three and one-quarter to three and a half inches in dia- 

 meter ; roundish, tapering slightly to crown ; color greenish yellow ground, 

 striped and marbled with light red in the sun ; when fully ripe, the ground is 

 yellow, and the red, deep and dark, mostly covering the fruit, and usually a light 

 bloom ; flesh rather coarse, tender, juicy, very mild acid ; quality not high, but 

 good. Tree a/rg« grower and very productive. Foliage very large. Ripe in 

 September. 



Yellow Transparent — Mr. Downing's description : "A Russian variety, which 

 promises to be valuable for a cold climate, as an early fruit of good quality, ripen- 

 ing before the Tetofsky, with more tender and delicate flesh, but does not continue 

 long in use. It is said that the tree so far has proved to be very hardy, moderately 

 vigorous, upright and an early and good bearer annually. Fruit medium, round- 

 ish oblate, slightly conical ; skin pale yellow when fully mature ; flesh white, 

 half fine, tender, juicy, sprightly, sub-acid ; quality good to very good. Season 

 early in August and a week or two before Tetofsky."
