PLATE LXV. 
2. REINETTE BAUMANN. 
This was raised by Messrs. Aug. and Nap. Baumann, of Bolwyller, in Alsace. 
Description .—Fruit : of medium size, roundish oblate, with blunt angles at the sides, which 
extend to the apex, and form ridges round the eye. Skin : smooth bright yellow, tinged with bright 
red, on the shaded side, with a brilliant red cheek on the side next the sun, the whole surface being 
strewed with embedded pearly specks. There is a patch of russet radiating over the base, from the 
stalk cavity. Eye : small and closed, with erect, pointed segments, set in a narrow, rather deep, and 
ribbed basin. Stalk : half an inch long, slender, inserted in a deep and narrow cavity. Flesh : 
white, crisp, juicy, and with a pleasant aroma. 
A good, but not high classed dessert apple, which holds its place chiefly by its great beauty. 
It is in season from December, to February or March. 
The tree grows freely as a bush, or standard on the crab, and usually bears well.
