Elliott's fruit book; or, The Elliott's fruit book; or, The American fruit-grower's guide in orchard and garden. Being a compend of the history, modes of propagation, culture, etc., of fruit trees and shrubs, with descriptions of nearly all the varieties of fruits cultivated in this country; notes of their adaptation to localities and soils, and also a complete list of fruits worthy of cultivation elliottsfruitbo00elli Year: 1858 108 THE APPLE. crisp, juicy, sprightly ; core, medium ; seeds, ovate. Season, last of July and August. Swaar. American, ' produced by the Dutch settler?, on the Hudson ; its name in low Dutch meaning heavy.' On all warm, rich, sandy soils it is one of the very finest fruits, and a good keeper. On cold clayey grounds it does not succeed well, as a general thing ; the past year, however, we have received of it grown on clay loam, limestone sub- soil, equalling or surpassing any ever grown on sand. On the rich prairie soils of the west, it is said to succeed, proving a good bearer, and profitable. Fruit, medium, to large; form, roundish, slightly ribbed or un- equal on its surface and often a little angular; color, greenish yel- low at first, becoming a dull rich yellow, dotted with distinct brown specks, sometimes marbled with gray russet on the side and round the stem, and often tinged with dull red ; stem, slender ; cavity round, deep ; calyx, small, half closed, basin, shallow, somewhat plaited; Jlesh, yellowish, fine grained, juicy, tender, spicy aromatic perfume ; core, small, to medium; seeds, broad, ovate. Season, January to March.
