basin; stem medium length, stout, set in a deep cavity ; flesh — 
moderately juicy, not crisp, dull white, coarse, subacid, good 
quality. Season here is August. .A tree was top-worked to this 
variety nine years ago, and the first few fruits were borne this 
season. So far as tested it does not appear to have any points of 
superiority over the standard varieties of its season, at least for 
the apple-growing sections of this State. 
Count Orloff— A Russian apple. Medium size ; conical; sides 
somewhat flattened ; calyx closed; basin wrinkled, medium size, 
moderately deep; stem short and thick, set in a wide shallow 
cavity; skin smooth, waxen green, having one side lightly 
blushed or streaked with pale red; flesh nearly white, dry, poor 
to fair in flavor and quality ; watercores so much as to be worth- 
less. Season August. (See also annual report of this station, 
1892, p. 587.)

symmetrical, covered with delicate bloom. Skin green, lightly

wrinkled. Stem medium length, slender, set ina deep cavity. 
Flesh mild subacid, fair to good in quality. Begins to ripen here 
about the first of August.

chester, Pa. Fruit medium to large, oblong, flattened length- 
wise. Skin yellow, mottled or nearly covered with a fine dark 
red color. Stem about an inch long, rather slender, set ina 
moderately deep, irregular cavity. Calyx with large segments 
nearly closed, is set in a broad ribbed or corrugated basin. Flesh 
white, not very juicy, slightly subacid, fair to good in quality.
