147. HEICKE’S WINTER SWEET, OR CLARK’S SEEDLING. Fig. 
Fruit of the medium size; depressed, 
wide, stem deep, moderately long, 
but does not project Calyx small, 
depression rather shallow. Color 
yellow; blush faint, if any, subject 
to mouldy blotches. Flesh yellow¬ 
ish, crisp, tender, taste sweet, fla¬ 
vor inferior. Keeps from Novem¬ 
ber to January. 
This apple is regarded by some as 
a seedling, by others as an old fruit, 
which has been known as a graft for 
thirty years or more, and known as 
Heiclter’s Winter Sweet. Tree is a 
moderate bearer. It appears, how¬ 
ever, that Clark’s Seedling keeps until April, and some other differences seem to indicate 
that the apples differ, although they resemble each other. It is recommended for baking.

Fruit of the medium size, globular, wider 
than high. Stem slender, deeply insert¬ 
ed, subequaling the base. Calyx rather 
large, with long segments; depression 
rather deep, even and regular. Color 
crimson, elegantly striped upon clear 
lemon yellow ground ; russetty in the 
stem depression, and bronzed. Flesh 
yellowish, subacid, juicy, tender, deli¬ 
cate, with the flavor of the pear. Seeds 
full, roundish ; in close chambers, ovate. 
Autumn. 
This apple is well spoken of by the gen¬ 
tlemen composing the Convention of Fruit 
Growers in Ohio in 1848.
