The Winter Pearmain of most American orchards, is the Au- tumn Pearmain of this, and most English works. 129. Pearmain, Blue. § Man. Ken. Thomp. The Blue Pearmain is a large and very showy fruit, and is therefore popular in the New-England markets. The nume- rous large russetty yellow dots which are sprinkled over the skin, and the bloom which overspreads it, mark this apple. Fruit of the largest size, roundish, regularly formed, very slightly conical. Skin covered with stripes and blotches of dark purplish-red, over a dull ground—and appearing bluish from the white bloom. Stalk short, slender, sunk in a deep hollow, rather uneven. Calyx small, pretty deeply sunk in an even basin. Flesh yellowish, mild, rather rich and good. The tree grows strongly, and bears moderate crops. October to February. 130. Pearmain, Claygate. Thomp. Lind. This is a new kind of Pearmain, lately received from Eng- land, which has not yet fruitod with us, but bears the highest.
