The Vandevere is an old fruit, a native of Wilmington, Del., and 

 took its name from a family there by name of Vandiver, M^hich should 

 be by right the name of the Apple ; but it has so long been known and 

 grown under the spelling Yandevere, that we deem it best not to 

 change it. There is much confusion existing respecting this Apple and 

 its sub-varieties, which possibly some of those may be, grown under 

 what we give as synonyms. Tree of moderate horizontal growth, not 

 very productive. Young shoots smooth, dark grayish reddish brown, 

 with bold, full, projecting, rounded conical buds. 



Fruit of medium size, oblate. Stalk about an inch long, inserted in 

 a deep cavity. Calyx small and closed, set in a round, moderate basin. 

 Color waxen yellow, striped with red, and covered with numerous green 

 dots. Flesh yellowish, compact, but tender, with a fine, rich, subacid 

 flavor. Grood. October to January. Yaluable for culinary purposes. 



There is a Yandevere which we have received from Yirginia, the young 

 -wood of which is slender, with very small inconspicuous buds.
