THE APPLE. 
Pomme de Neige. Thomp. Lind. 
Fameuse. Forsyth . 
Sanguineus. 
Snowy Chimney. 
A very celebrated Canada fruit (probably an old French fruit) , 
which has its name from the snow-white colour of its flesh, or, 
as some say, from the village from whence it was first taken to 
England. It is an excellent, productive, autumn apple, and is 
especially valuable in northern latitudes. 
Fruit of medium size, roundish, somewhat flattened; skin 
with a ground of pale greenish yellow, mixed with faint streaks 
of pale red on the shady side, but marked with blotches and short 
stripes of darker red, and becoming a fine deep red in the sun ; 
stalk quite slender, half an inch long, planted on a narrow funnel- 
shaped cavity ; calyx small, and set in a shallow, rather narrow 
basin ; flesh remarkably white, very tender, juicy, and good, with 
a slight perfume. Ripe in October and November. A regular 
bearer, and a handsome dessert fruit.
