THE APPLE.

closed, set in a shallow, uneven basin. Flesh, greenish, tender, 
juicy, with a mild, pleasant, subacid flavour. January to April. 
Carolina Red June. 
Red June. Blush June. 
Origin, somewhat uncertain, supposed to be Carolina. Tree 
very vigorous, upright, an early and abundant bearer, much 
esteemed at the south and south-west as their best early apple, 
ripe a few days after Early Harvest, not equal to it in flavour 
but more profitable as an orchard fruit. 
Fruit medium or below, oval, irregular, inclining to conic. 
Skin smooth, nearly the whole surface shaded with deep red and 
almost of a purplish hue on the sunny side, and covered with a 
light bloom. Stem variable in length, inserted in a small nar- 
row cavity. Calyx closed, segments long, reflexed, basin narrow 
plaited. Flesh very white, tender, juicy, with a brisk sub-acid 
flavour. 
Carolina Striped June. Willson’s June. This is claimed to 
be distinct from the above, because the fruit is striped, whilst 
the other is always shaded. The growth of the tree, form, flavour 
of the fruit, and time of ripening similar. Not having seen this 
we are not able to decide. 
Carnahan’s Favorite. 
Origin, Southern Ohio. Tree vigorous, productive. Fruit 
large, roundish, conic. Skin yellowish, striped and shaded with 
red and much sprinkled with green or russet dots. Stalk of 
medium length, cavity large. Calyx large, segments long, in a 
corrugated basin. Flesh fine grained, juicy, with a very pleasant 
vinous flavour. December to March. 
Carter. 
Royal Pippin. 
Origin, farm of Nath. Carter, Leominster, Mass. A vigorous 
grower and productive. 
Fruit above medium, roundish, oval. Skin yellow, slightly 
shaded, striped, and marbled with red. Stem short, inserted in 
a deep cavity. Calyx closed, set in a large basin. Flesh ten- 
der, almost melting, with a very mild, pleasant flavour. October 
to January. 
There is also a Carter Apple of Virginia, and another of Ala- 
bama, but we have not seen them and they may prove synony- 
mous.
