13. RACE’S RED. Plate 48, fig. 1. 
Fruit of the medium size, sub-circular, rather elongated. Stem short and rather thick, and 
set in a deep russetty depression; base rather wide, and tapers from near the middle of 
the apple each way. Calyx small, plaited in a shallow depression. Color carmine, 
paler on the shaded side, and the coronal end with a few grayish dots. Flesh yellowish, 
tender, rather acid, crisp. Core and calyx small. 
Exhibited at the Pomological Convention, New-York, by E. G. Studley, of Claverack, 
Columbia county. The apple is very fine, and worthy of cultivation. 
14. MARK’S NEW STRAWBERRY APPLE. Plate 52, fig. 1. 
Fruit of the medium size, elongated, tapering to the crown. Stem rather long, slender, 
deeply inserted. Calyx large; segments leafy, closed and prominent, shallow. Crown 
narrow. Color carmine, striped and darker upon the sunny side, dotted sparsely ; spots 
arranged in stripes. Flesh white, tinged reddish near the skin : a red streak encircles 
the core. Flesh tender, juicy ; flavor quite like the strawberry. Ripe early in October, 
but suitable for cooking early in September. * 
This apple was exhibited at the Fruit Convention in New-York, by A. Mark, esquire, 
of Durham, Greene county. It must be regarded as ranking high among the autumn 
apples. I have b«en unable to identify it under any described fruits, and hence have 
noticed it as above. 
15. AUTUMN STRAWBERRY. Plate 75, fig. ]. 
A dark carmine apple, deeper in spots, scarcely striped; ends subequal, medium size. 
Stem projects beyond the base ; depression moderately deep, and spread with thin russet. 
Calyx rather large, moderately deep. Flesh white, juicy, stained with red around the 
calyx. Flavor resembles the strawberry, and is a fine October fruit. 
16. LATE STRAWBERRY. 
Fruit near the medium size, symmetrical, 
circular, slightly elongated. Stem projects 
beyond the base ; depression russetty, ex¬ 
tending outward in a stellated form. 
Calyx rather small, nearly closed. Color 
carmine, and with slashes of deeper on 
the sunny side, dotted. Flesh subacid, 
stained reddish around the core ; flavor 
of the strawberry, juicy. 
Probably the Autumn and Late Straw¬ 
berry are the same, while the Fall and 
Mark’s New Strawberry are different varie¬ 
ties. The Late Strawberry has a deeper stem 
depression than the Autumn, but their cha¬ 
racters are so near alike that fhev may be regarded as the same.
