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. Fruit-culture; Fruit. WOKTHY GENERAL CULTIVATION. 99 of which the fruit is larger, docs not keep as well, and the tree when grown makes a dense top. Fruit, medium ; form, roundish conical, or roundish ovate, regu- lar ; color, light greenish yellow, mostly overspread with brownish russet, when well matured, becomes yellowish ; stem, rather short; cavity, round; calyx, small, close; basin, abrupt, regular, round ; flesh, yellowish white, fine texture, rather firm, aromatic; core, small; seeds, ovate, reddish brown. Season, all Winter and Spring. There is cultivated in Central Ohio, a Golden Russet (see our figure) which resembles this, but is larger, and with an open calyx, and often beautifully bronzed with russet yellow. We think they may prove identical, and the soil and location make the apparent difference. Pomme Grise.
