183. CABASHIE, OR CABASHEE. Fig. 72. 
This apple is more remarkable for its size than for its valuable qualities. It is not, how¬ 
ever, an inferior apple. For cooking- it is certainly esteemed, as it has a pleasant and 
agreeable taste. It is, however, too large. Yet in an orchard where there is room, it 
may be cultivated, as it illustrates the remarkable property of the apple to form varieties. 
184. COLLET. 
Fruit of the medium size, elongated, circular, symmetrical. Color carmine red, lighter 
around the crown, and spotted. Stem short, thick ; depression russeted. Calyx open, 
large. Flesh yellowish; flavor rich and sprightly. 
This apple was obtained in Montgomery county, Md., and cut the 9th of May, and had 
been exposed for four weeks upon the table, and subjected to many changes of tempera¬ 
ture; yet was juicy, with a flavor as sprightly as a Spitzenburgh, which it resembles.
