Some fruits are russeted at this part of their surface only, but this marking is a variable character and is found in greater or less degree in dif- ferent localities ; thus the Rhode Island Greening, to which it be- Fig. 46.—NARROW AND FOLDED longs, Is sometimcs almost en- tirely divested of the russeting, and in other localities the surface is thickly spread with it half way to the stem ; the Westfield Seek-no-further, which is slightly marked with this character in the North, often becomes a russet apple in more southeril latitudes. The basin of some fruits is very apt to crack into irreg- ular fissures, and this appears to be peculiar to certain va- rieties, though it is not esteemed a very reliable mark; the term cracked is used to express this. In some fruits, however, we find .a very peculiar cracking that forms a permanent character, upon which great dependence may be placed: all the rim of the basin in these is marked with a slightly cracked appearance that* does not rupture the skin, and which resembles the incipient breaking of the surface of a piece of dry leather; it has, therefore, re- ceived the name of leather-crack. This is characteristic of a few sorts, and hence a valuable mark. Within the basin is the Eye, which furnishes characters of great value. This I consider to mean the meetini]^ of.
