DESCRIPTIONS 
84. BELMONT, GATE, OR WAXEN (Fig. I nnd 2.) Fig. SI 
Fruit of the medium size, irregular 
and unsymmetrical, tapering to 
both extremities from the mid¬ 
dle. Color golden yellow, uni¬ 
form, fair, skin resinous. Stem 
long, slender, high above the 
base. Calyx moderate, tube 
open, depressions irregular.— 
Flesh juicy, high flavored with 
nasturtion. This variety is quite 
distinct and stands by itself. The 
calyx tube being open, renders 
it liable to defects at the centre. 
Ohio. Fig. 2, transverse section, 
showing the sub-pentangular 
tendency. 
The specimens which have fallen 
under my notice were always 
unsymmetrical. Perhaps the fig¬ 
ures give distorted views, yet 
they seem to be generally correct. 
The apple is very fine for the des¬ 
sert, and is well worth cultivat¬ 
ing.
