62. VANDERVERE. Plate 46. 
Fruit about the medium size, 
fair, subcircular, and symmet¬ 
rical ; ends nearly equal and 
tapering from the middle. Co¬ 
lor yellow, and blazed with 
bright carmine stripes; yel¬ 
low predominating at the 
apex. Skin marked with dis¬ 
tinct dots of yellow and spots 
of yellow upon the base and 
within the stem depression. 
Stem short, scarcely equaling 
the base. Depression eccen¬ 
tric as well as that of the ca¬ 
lyx. Calyx large. Flesh yel¬ 
low, fine, juicy and crisp. 
Few apples excel the Vander- 
vere, either for the dessert or cooking. In market it is found of variable qualities, and 
sometimes defective. 
63. WAGENER APPLE. Plate 41. 
Fruit of the medium size, or above. Subangular; tapering from near the middle to the 
crown. Stem rather long, deeply inserted ; depression somewhat regular ; calyx rather 
deep ; depression round without plaits, shallow : segments of the calyx mostly closed. 
Color carmine, obscurely striped; deeper around the base, and greenish russet deep in 
the stem depression: crown roughish, faintly russet, and slightly tuberculated; with 
faint dots of whitish; paler on the shaded side. Flesh yellowish, tender, juicy, fine 
grained ; subacid, aromatic. 
The Wagener ranks among the best of the New-York winter apples, and will probably 
succeed in any part of the New-England states. 
64. WINTER KING. Plate 38. 
Fruit of the medium size; base broad and rather flattened. Angular, tapering rapidly 
from the middle to the crown. Color bright crimson, showing the pale yellow ground 
in patches. Stem equaling the base ; stout, depressed rather wide and deep. Calyx 
medium size, placed in a small depression. Flesh yellowish white, subacid, pleasant 
Core open and, in some instances, defective. Tree strong and productive. 
This apple, both in outward beauty and intrinsic excellence, ranks in the first class.
