Among the Reinettes there is a world of confusion, and we feel no 

 confidence in correctness until such time as they may be gathered and 

 grown all in the same grounds. The present description of this variety 

 is taken frQm Hogg. Tree healthy, vigorous, productive. 



Fruit medium, roundish, flattened on the sides, broadest at base, 

 dull yellowish green in the shade, with a patch of thin dull brownish 

 red f in the sun, which side is so covered with brown russet that little 

 color is visible. Stalk very short. Calyx closed. Flesh yellow, firm, 

 crisp, rich, juicy, sugary. November to May. 



We have received and fruited a Winter Gray Reinette from Rivers, 

 which is small, oblate, depressed, dull yellowish gray russet, indistinct 

 raised dots. Stalk long, slender. Calyx closed. Flesh whitish, firm, 

 moderately juicy, rich, brisk subacid. Good. December to May.
