have been brought to Rhode Island more than a hundred years 
ago. It was re-named Dyer by the Mass. Hort. Society, who 
supposed it to be a seedling of Mr. Dyer, of R. I., but the old 
and familiar name of Pomme Royale should be preferred. 
Fruit of medium size, roundish, pretty regularly formed. Skin 
smooth, pale greenish yellow, with a faint blush and a few dark 
specks ofi one side. Stalk about half an inch long, set in a 
smooth, round cavity. Calyx closed, basin plaited, moderately 
deep. Core round, hollow. Flesh white, very tender and juicy ; 
flavour very mild and agreeable — slightly sub-acid. September, 
October.
