ENGLISH SWEET. 



Ramsdell or Ramsdell Sweet has been described by some leading 

 pomologists under the name English Sweet. Ramsdell Szveet is the 

 name accepted for this variety in the catalogue of the American 

 Pomological Society, and it is generally known among nursery- 

 men and fruit growers as Ramsdell or Ramsdell Sweet. For a 

 description of this variety, the reader is referred to Ramsdell 

 Sweet, page 175.

 Synonyms. None. 



This variety originated at Claverack, Columbia county, N. Y. (i). Accord- 

 ing to Downing the tree is moderately vigorous and very productive. The 

 fruit medium size, greenish-yellow, subacid, good to very good. In season 

 from December to February. 



Downing also mentions another Fall Greening of similar color, sprightly 

 subacid, in season from September to November; tree a poor grower. 



We have not seen either of these varieties.

Fruit large, yellow, show}', similar in general appearance to Fall Pippin 

 but less desirable where that variety can be grown. According to Hos- 

 kins (12) it is hardy in Northern Vermont and has there proved an excel- 

 lent annual bearer. He considers it valuable for all Northern New England 

 and Canada. Cole (3) observes that the fruit is "fine and fair but not 

 first-rate, and rather apt to fall, or to rot on the tree." Elliott (8) says that 

 it is not productive but Hovey (4) and Cole (3) call it a vigorous grower 

 and a good bearer. In the nursery it may be easily known from Fall Pippin 

 by its yellow and more slender shoots (4). 



Fruit (2, 3, 4, 10). 

 Fruit large. Form roundish, slightly oblate, regular or somewhat ribbed 

 at the base ; crown large, slightly oblique. Stem short, stout or rather slen-
