Domine. 
Wells — Striped R. I. Greening. 
Hogan— English Red Streak. 
English Beauty of Pa. 
This apple, extensively planted in the orchards on the Hud- 
son, so much resembles the Rambo externally, that the two are 
often confounded together, and the outline of the latter fruit (see 
Rambo,) may be taken as nearly a fac-simileof this. The Domine 
is, however, of a livelier colour, and the flavour and season of 
the two fruits are very distinct, — the Rambo being rather a high 
flavoured early winter or autumn apple, while the Domine is a 
sprightly, juicy, long keeping, winter fruit. 
Fruit of medium size, flat. Skin lively greenish-yellow in 
the shade, with stripes and splashes of bright red in the sun, 
and pretty large russet specks. Stalk long and slender, planted 
in a wide cavity and inclining to one side. Calyx small, in a 
broad basin, moderately sunk. Flesh white, exceedingly tender 
and juicy, with a sprightly pleasant, though not high flavour. 
Young wood of a smooth, lively, light brown, and the trees are 
the most rapid growers and prodigious bearers that we know — 
the branches being literally weighed down by the rope-like 
clusters of fruit. 
The Domine does not appear to be described by any foreign 
author. Coxe says that he received it from England, but the 
apple he describes and figures does not appear to b« ours, and 
we have never met with it in any collection here. It is highly 
probable that this is a native fruit. It is excellent from De- 
cember till April.
