Red Transparent.— A Russian variety of no value here 
where Primate is readily grown. Fruit medium, with pale skin 
nearly covered with red and witha delicate bloom. Basin irregu- 
lar and corrugated, calyx prominent and closed. Flesh greenish 
white, not crisp, watercores badly. 
Repka.— A Russian apple. Fruit medium size, roundish 
oblate inclined to conic; skin pale yellow; stem rather short, set 
in a deep cavity ; calyx closed, set in a wide corrugated basin ;

Titovka.— Scions received from Ellwanger & Barry in 1883 
It was topworked on a bearing tree, and bore its first fruit five 
years later. The tree is vigorous and of an upright-growing ~ 
habit. The fruit is large, oblong, tapering to the eye, slightly 
angular; skin smooth, light green, handsomely shaded and 
striped with bright red and covered with a slight bloom; stem 
short, deeply set, hardly projecting beyond the deep cavity; 
calyx closed, set in a deep, slightly corrugate basin; flesh white, 
coarse, subacid; very good for culinary use. Season, August 
and early September. On account of its large size and hand- 
some color it would probably prove to be a good market apple.
