BIETIGHEIMER. Red Bietigheimer. The fruits are of largest size, for which and for their beauty of form and color, the variety is remarkable. On the other hand, the apples are coarse, poor in quality, and drop badly during the maturing period. The trees are hardy and healthy, and come into bearing early, but are among the unmanageables of orchard and nursery-, and are seldom fruitful. The variety was introduced from Germany about 1870, and is now more or less grown in the colder parts of America. Tree large, vigorous, upright-spreading, dense, with drooping laterals. Fruit very large, uniform in size and shape, round-oblate, with broad, fiat base, somewhat irregular; stem short, thick; cavitj- large, acute, wide, shallow, sometimes furrowed, occasionally lipped, often much russeted and with outspreading russet rays ; calj-x small, closed, with narrow, acute lobes; basin shallow and obtuse to deep and abrupt, wrinkled, often marked with mammiform protuberances; skin thick, tough, smooth, pale yellow washed with pinkish-red, sparingly
