THE APPLE. 



from the hardihood of the trees, their great productiveness, and its value 

 for stock feeding and various culinary uses. Tree an upright spreading 

 grower, vigorous. 



Form nearly globular. When fully ripe, whitish yellow, with a soft 

 blush on one side, and generally a line running from stem to calyx.

 rather wide, shallow, but regular cavity. Calyx set in a small basin,

 short. Calyx closed. Basin deep. Flesh white, tender, sweet subacid.

Tart Bough. 

 Sour Bough of some. 



An old variety, originally disseminated, so far as we can learn, by 

 Judge Buel, of Albany, N. Y. It much resembles Early Harvest in the 

 fruit, but the trees are more rapid in growth, and it ripens much later, 

 is more acid, and not considered profitable. 



There is another Tart Bough, the fruit of which is small, roundish 

 conical, whitish, thickly sprinkled with dots. Stalk long, slender. 

 Calyx closed, with long segments. Basin shallow. Flesh white, firm- 

 grained, tender, juicy, sprightly, pleasant subacid. Good. Core small. 

 August. 



Tarvey Codlin. 

 Baised from seed of the Manks Codlin. 



Fruit large, conical, dull olive green, with yellow and yellowish red, 

 much spotted with broken rows of blood-red dot, next the sun. Flesh 

 white, juicy. A good culinary apple. November, December. (Hogg.)

 shoots reddish brown, slightly downy. 



Fruit rather large, oblate conic, greenish yellow, striped and splash- 

 ed with red, darkest on sun side, large light dots. Stalk slender. Cavity 

 deep, russeted. Calyx closed. Segments long, slender. Basin slightly 

 corrugated. Flesh whitish, tender, juicy, aromatic, acid. Good. Sep- 

 tember, October.
