These lists of mere names are necessarily some- 
what vague, they unavoidably contain repetitions 
of the same varieties, and they are rendered ad- 
ditionally inexplicit by considerable ambiguity 
or unsettledness in the prevailing market nomen- 
clature of fruit. We would gladly both illustrate 
and extend them by brief descriptive notices of 
all the varieties, but are compelled by due care 
for the symmetry of our work to restrict ourselves 
to brief notices of only a very few.—The early 
Margaret or scarlet Hve apple is a middle-sized 
fruit ; its shape oval, but flattened at the ends; 
its eye shallow and wrinkled; its stalk short, and 
inserted in a shallow cavity; its sides slightly 
angular ; its colour, when ripe, a yellowish green, 
with some russet brown about the stalk, and 
a bright crimson marked with darker streaks 
toward the sun; its flesh whitish, but sometimes 
tinted with red next the skin, crisp and juicy; 
and its flavour saccharine, pleasantly acidulated, 
and exhaling a rich aromatic fragrance. The 
tree is middle-sized, grows erect, and bears well. 
—The oslin apple is a middle-sized, roundish, ob- 
late fruit; its eye wide and shallow; its calyx 
often prominent and a little wrinkled; its stalk 
short, and inserted in a wide and shallow cavity ; 
its sides sometimes slightly angular; its colour, 
when ripe, a bright yellow, speckled with russet, 
and clouded about the stalk ; its flesh yellowish, 
crisp, and juicy ; and its flavour delicate, sac- 
charine, and aromatic. The tree is dwarfish, 
makes erect shoots of a light gray colour, has 
light green leaves, and is an abundant bearer.— | 
The red Astracan apple is above the middle-size; | 
its shape roundish, but a little flattened at the | 
ends ; its sides irregular ; its eye broad and deep, 
but closed by the calyx, and uneven on the edge; | 
its stalk short, and deeply sunk in an angu ar 
cavity ; its colour yellowish, mixed with light 
red to the shade, and a deep cherry red covered 
with a purplish bloom to the sun; and its flesh 
very white, tinted with red next the skin, firm, | 
juicy, and well-flavoured. The tree is strong, | 
erect, and a good bearer.—The Kerry pippin is | 
about the middle-size ; its sides smooth, some- | 
times warted, and often nippled at the stalk ; its | 
eye broad, shallow, and wrinkled; its colour a 
bright yellow, pipped all over, and slightly tinted | 
with red toward the sun; its flesh yellow, crisp, 
and juicy; and its flavour saccharine and deli- 
cate. The tree is vigorous, makes downy, spurred, 
erect shoots, and is an excellent bearer.—The | 
spice apple, or aromatic russet, is a middle-sized | 
fruit; its shape conical; its sides obtusely angu- | 
lar; its eye wide, shallow, and much ribbed; its | 
stalk long, slender, and set in a deep cavity; its 
colour a greenish yellow in the shade, and a dull 
red or cinnamon to the sun, with interspersions 
of much russet throughout ; its flesh white, soft, 
and juicy; and its flavour rich, saccharine, and 
highly aromatic. The tree thrives in every situa-
