DESCRIPTIONS 
13. EARLY JULIEN (Lond. Hort. Trans.). 
Fruit medium size, angular or ribbed : ribs continued into the borders of the crown de¬ 
pression, where they terminate in prominences. Color pale yellow. Flesh yellow, firm 
and crisp. Flavor brisk and pleasant, and superior to most of the August apples. 
It is of Scotch origin, and is a good dessert fruit. 
14. GEORGE APPLE (Ohio Nurserymen and Fruit-growers, 1848). 
Fruit of the medium size, circular, slightly 
depressed and uniform. Stem slender, rather 
long, and set in a wide and rather shallow 
depression. Calyx surrounded by a low 
crown or summit, or rather enclosed in a 
shallow wide depression. Color pale yellow. 
Skin sprinkled with numerous small russety 
spots. Flesh subacid, whitish, juicy and 
firm. 
It is regarded with favor, but being a seed¬ 
ling, and as yet but little known, its reputation 
is not established. Ripens in July-August. 
It is an Ohio apple, and originated in the 
orchard of Mr. George, of Muskingum coun¬ 
ty, Ohio. 
15. QUEEN ANNE APPLE (Elliott). 
Fruit above the medium size, oblong or elongated, subangular, tapering from the middle 
to the crown. Stem slender, of a medium length, and set in a rather deep narrow basin. 
Calyx set in a deep depression, and surrounded by a narrow crown. Color bright yel¬ 
lowish green. Skin sprinkled with white specks. Flesh yellowish, tender, and possesses 
a rich subacid flavor. 
Ripens by the middle of August, and continues until the middle of September, but may 
be kept till December. The tree is strong and thrifty : wood dark brown. A free and 
early bearer. 
I perceive this apple has been referred to the Lowell apple, or Middle apple of Oneida 
county, by J. J. Thomas. It is proper to say, that the apple known here under the name 
of Lowell apple is quite different. It is figured on Plate 40; and although the form and 
color agree, still the one figured is not ripe till February, and will keep till quite late in 
the spring. For this reason I have retained the name Queen Anne, under which it is 
described by Elliott in the Western Reserve Magazine, p. 145, for September.
