THE APPLE. 
Flesh yellowish, juicy, with a very rich, vinous, pleasant aroma 
tic flavour. November, March. 
Spitzenburgh, Flushing. 
This variety has been confounded by Coxe, and more recently 
by Thompson, with the Esopus Spitzenburgh, but is really quite 
distinct. The tree makes strong, brown shoots, different from 
the slender yellowish ones of that sort. 
The fruit is roundish-conical, stalk set in a narrow cavity, 
projecting beyond the fruit. Skin nearly covered with red, on 
a greenish yellow ground, dotted with large fawn spots, and 
coated with a slight bloom. Calyx small, in an even basin. 
Flesh white, juicy, crisp, nearly sweet, and of pleasant flavour, 
but without the brisk richness, or yellow colour of the Esopus 
Spitzenburgh. October to February.

rounded by greenish russet. Calyx partially closed, set in a
